A Sunday Drive

 One of the things that I consider important when visiting an area is to see the final resting place of where family is buried.  Weird, I know, but I love looking at when someone was born, when they passed on, and anything else the family may have written.  This cemetery was almost as pretty as where my German grandparents are buried although this one has a gorgeous view.  Here in Middleton, CT you will find my hubby's grandparents buried amongst the hillside along with this very, very, old church.

 

 

 

Some very old grave stones here, but the view is fantastic.  His aunt said that a lot of people will come here just to walk.  I wish we would have had more time as I definitely would have explored it more.  So, next stop was Haddam.

 

Here is the boat that you can take to do tours on the Connecticut river.

 

The building there is what was the old opera house.

 

Doing a turn around I spotted this water fall, and had hubby pull over so that I could get a photo of it.

 

I don't know why I took this one.  I believe it is because the building is so old, and I loved the different colored bricks!

 

I wish we would have had more time since I would have loved to have eaten at the little restaurant across the street. 

 

 

 

This just looked so pretty and peaceful.

 

I would have enjoyed a picnic lunch here!

 

I loved this little area!  A pond, the split rail fence, the gazebo!  This definitely made a nice Sunday drive, and I am hoping that we will be able to explore more next year.
