Woke up on our 26th Anniversary today and after breakfast, Jamie cleaned out the car, while the rest of us cleaned out the camper since it wasn't wet and we still had some sand from the ocean in the car from two nights ago.
We headed out of our NJ Cheesequake State Park and up towards Wampatuck State Park in MA. On the way, we had previously picked out Harriett Beecher Stowe's home to tour in Hartford CT, since the kids had read Uncle Tom's Cabin this year in school. What we didn't know was that Mark Twain's home of 17 years was right next door to her home. So, we decided to tour Samuel Clemen's home instead :) We did the full home tour, which was worth the money, our guide did an excellent job. It was interesting how Sam and his wife constructed and decorated their home - it was way before their time, not until the 1920's did people start using architecture or the geometric shapes they used to decorate their home.
After the tour, visiting their museum, and perusing their bookstore (Jamie purchased A Connecticut Yankee in King Author's Court) we left Hartford and drove into Hingham MA and set up camp. Now ready for our trip into Boston tomorrow.
