I've been working Sundays for the last month, but was off today. We decided to visit Jeff's parents in Southbury. It's an hour's drive which makes impromptu visits difficult. We usually make it a day, take Spike along and visit the Southbury dog park.
I wanted to do something different that would be more of a hike for us; I consulted our copy of Doggin' Connecticut and decided to visit Kettletown State Park. It's off the same exit of Route 84 as Jeff's parents' place so it was convenient.
Unfortunately, our hike didn't live up to expectations: it was a cold day in the forties, we couldn't find trail maps, another hiker told us that some of the trails were closed. But we did spend about a half hour there which was nice and Spike enjoyed many scents. We also learned that 2013 is the 100th anniversary of the Connecticut state park system.
We spent several hours at Jeff's parents--had a good lunch and a nice visit. We planned to take my mother to dinner. Her place is about midway between ours and Jeff's parents. But when I called her to say we were on our way, she didn't feel up to going out. We will probably see her tomorrow.
On our way home, we decided to stop at Cranbury Park in Norwalk. Our usual dog park is Taylor Farm, but we sometimes go to Cranbury instead. We walked the trails for about 45 minutes.
We picked up some sushi at Little Tokyo, before settling in to watch Game of Thrones and Vikings.
Overall, a good day.
