A couple of weekends ago, Motor Man and I traveled with our friends, Bev and Bill, to Connecticut. The main reason for our visit was to take the Essex Steam Train/Riverboat Excursion. (I’ve mentioned before that we have hobo blood flowing through our veins. And it seems that our friends do, too.)
This sign was the official way of letting us know that we were going to get dirty. It didn’t deter us, though. The weather was too gorgeous for us not to sit in the open car.
Our trip took us along the Connecticut River. Are you able to tell from the picture how beautiful the day was?
Our husbands – enjoying the trip.
And their hobo-wives, doing the same. I’m guessing that you can probably tell which one of us is the blogger, and which one is the beach-lover. Need a little more time?
About a half-hour into our ride, the train stopped. Tomorrow I’ll tell you why.
these days of mine 
Glad your hobo blood does bring you home again.
I’d love to ride a train someday here in the US. Looking forward to the explanation of “why the train stopped.” 🙂
Looks like an interesting trip. Hope it wasn’t too dirty.
That did look like a gorgeous day! I find it very amusing that Motor Man always seems to have a look like he’s plotting something! Cute.
Can’t wait to hear more.
That’s because he usually IS plotting something! 😉
Did you realize that if Bev had on sunglasses you could almost pass for twins? Sun visor…check. Dangle earrings….check. Hair color…check. Tops with blue in them….check. Good pictures. Tell Bill and JR to get with the program!
So fun! And great to have good friends to pal around with on a picture perfect day!
laughing at the beach vs. blog comparison! ha ha! and love that warning sign!
Looks like a fantastic day trip. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the story.
What a great trip. I can hardly wait to hear the rest. 🙂
On one of the trips we took, many of the people from the open car moved further back on the return trip, leaving some of us the option of standing or riding in the open car. October in the mountains, it was a bit chilly, too.
Looks like a great trip! … & a blog “cliffhanger” … or is that a bad word for a train ride ?! Look forward to the rest of the story!
can’t wait for tomorrows story!
the hubs and i have done this several times, our son lives in ct. it’s a fun trip and i think i may know tomorrow’s story. it will stay our little secret till tomorrow!!!
Wow! Now I’m very curious!! The views are really nice.
Oooh….a cliff hanger! Love it! The picture of the beach lover and the blogger – cracked me up!!!
What fun! Can’t wait for “the rest of the story”. Loved the beautiful blue sky and water.
