What I did on my Summer Vacation

I finally took a vacation day Monday the 14th.
Not a holiday, or sick day, but honest to goodness plain old day off.
Of course the Bf and I made the most of it.

Sunday was a day in the Nutmeg, i.e. CT state.
We started off with breakfast in our favorite restaurant. I personally have never eaten breakfast out. Other than the occasional bagel. So I indulged. PANCAKE! It was really good.
BF got eggs, spicy style, also good.

Then we were off.
We went picking in an orchard. We picked blueberry, which were tart, peaches and nectarine, which we weren't supposed to, but a guy in the parking lot told us they were good.
You had to let the fruit ripen for a bit off the trees, but they were good and it was fun!
They also had pears, apples and squash which we declined.
See the pics of the fruits of our labor:

Then we had a picnic on the water, which was nice. Mostly old people, but pretty and relaxing. I really never did anything like it before.
Then the obligatory stew leonards. Where I pulled on a rope and made a cow moo and saw real live stock! Don't worry Ray, no on was injured :-)

It was a long day but nice.

Monday was a day in NJ. Now we know how how I feel about this state... sorry Lish and Hubby...
First we went to the Jersey Shore at AC to hang on the beach. The weather was good for that. But I don't like sand.
Plus we put our sunscreen on while at the beach, so that and the wind made much sand stick to me. But I did my best. We stayed for about an hour. I was apparently a comedy routine all to myself. Then we changed, ate and headed for the Casinos.
We didn't win, but none-the less I had a great time. They built or are building this really cool mall at the piers which was nice tto. The drive back wasn't even that bad. I got to stop for TCBY :- )
I had a great vacation.
Thanks Joshy!!!!
