Day 9 & 10 Round Up

Thanks to St. John (John Gagliardi) for getting out early to get bagels and coffee.  The balance of the morning we all helped setup for the big thank you party for 200 plus.  Mid morning Jeff and Janie headed downtown to Dolce Italian Cafe to meet with Jennifer Clemow.  We had a short visit but it was so great to catch up with her and hear about CC a freshman in HS and Tyler entering middle school.
From New Canaan we headed north with a stop in Waterbury for a Mexican lunch and yes they had great margaritas.  Then the trek to Tolland, MA (Tunix Club lake) to visit our Uncle Brian and Aunt Susan.
Sunday Brian treated us to omelets.  A rainy day, so hanging inside by the fire discussing family reunion options and memories.  Below is the welcome Bear to the Clemow cabin.
That afternoon left for LaGuardia Hampton Inn to spend the night for 9:45 am flight back to KC.  Janie had to stop for Diary Queen again.  Traffic with rain made it a 3 hour drive and a little tense as night fall took over.  Successful arrival at hotel after dropping luggage and then dropping rental car.

Picked up tail wagging Breck on way home and completed the trip safe and sound.  We had another great trip with Kent and Sheila and looking forward to more adventures with them  Cold temperatures on arrival with lows in the 30s and soon 20s.  Welcome winter.

Trip Day 2 - Newport, RI and Boston

Departed from Heather and Johns' New Canaan home and drove by their last house a large Farm House.  Then headed to a recommended coffee shop for Jeff.  Luckily for Sheila, John and Alexandra were able to meet us with her left behind bag.   Coffee, hot coco and muffins to go and with the rain picking up we headed up the Merritt Parkway to Newport, RI. On the way we peeled off through Old Saybrook, CT and down to Fenwick where we found Katherine Hepburn's old house along the shore where Jeff used to spend time with his grandparents.  We continued our trek up the coast to New Port, RI with the rain gathering its strength.  The group decided to first have lunch and then tour the Newport sites.  John recommended a place on the Bowen Warf, 22 Bowen Wine Bar and Grille.  Great choice by John for sure.  Clam Chowder and Lobster Bisque to start and then grouper sandwich and lobster roll lunches. From the pier we grabbed the car and

Travel to NE Day 1

 Like all trips you have to get to the destination before you start the adventure. Janie flew to LaGuardia on Monday, October 16th to meet Sheila to help her watch her 4 granddaughters in New Canaan while John and Heather were going to be away for a few days.  However, when she arrived, she had a text stating a friend she was with for quite sometime the day before just tested positive for covid.  Typically this wouldn't have been too big of a deal but with Alexandra just completing her chemo treatments for leukemia, she decided to catch a flight back home Monday night.  Heather was ok with her staying but she didn't want to risk getting any of the kids sick. Jeff picked up Janie late Monday night after a long day of flying LaGuardia and then back home.  She was fine all week and tested negative Friday morning so a go for our trip back to LaGuardia.  Jeff and Janie first took Breck to the kennel for boarding then headed on to the new KCI terminal.  The flight to LaGuardia went s
