There really aren't any quiet days on a MindStretch Travel "adventure," but today was about as quiet as they come. We didn't have tons of stuff planned but still managed to fill the day with "stuff." This was a travel day as we moved from Gorham, New Hampshire to Waterbury, Vermont. The drive was about 2 1/2 hours but that times always spreads out as we take breaks here and there.
There weren't a lot of places to eat lunch along the way so we had a very late lunch at a great pizza place in Waterbury, our destination. I'm sure most of us had more than our share. We waddled from lunch a couple of miles to the Cold Hollow Cider Mill where Paul, the owner, came out to talk with the boys about his company and then took us into the process room to see how cider was made. They had finished pressing for today, but free samples of great-tasting cider was still in ample supply. They also make some really special apple donuts so we all had one of those before packing up for out hotel.
After checking in several boys went swimming and then at 6 we went into downtown Waterbury for dinner. We decided it was time for most boys to eat "healthy" and we encouraged salads and sandwiches. After the heavy pizza just about three hours earlier I think they were ready for something a little lighter.
We drove around Waterbury to check it out and didn't find much of interest to boys so we returned to the hotel for a very noisy 30-minutes swim session and some time in the arcade.
And that's our daily report.
