Parks and Playgrounds

Hear that?  That's the sound of warmer weather on her way back to New England!  Spring seems to be taking her sweet time arriving in Connecticut, but soon enough, we'll be back into the swing of monkeying around at the playground rather than hibernating indoors.  For this Mom of two very energetic kiddos, that can't come soon enough!  From beach front plays areas to boundless play scapes accessible to all abilities, New London County is home to some of the most amazing playgrounds anywhere!

I've been to Boothe Memorial Park a few times, and only one word comes to mind to explain it: quirky.  If you're interested in Americana, it's here.  Architecture, here.  Railroads, here.  Genealogy?  Yep, it's here.  There's even an observatory on the grounds.  Oh, and a chicken house.  And a ham radio club.  I'll stop there for now.  And while the 32-acre property is inundated with curiosity-filled buildings, there is also LOTS of room for young ones to roam.  Massive grassy hills shaded by 100-year-old oaks practically beg for someone to roll down them.
