Hi again Troop 1509!
Sorry that I did not have enough time to tell you about all the fun things I have done while i was visiting with Kit Kat and her family! Now we are back from our trip and I have lots of time to tell you what I have done here! I have so much time because right now I am actually traveling to my next host in Ohio... So, I thought that I would use this extra time to write a little bit more about what I've done this time...
So, you know about my boxes in CT and the Potato and Corn Festival that I went to.... After that we drove to Plymouth, MA. In just two days, we found three letterboxes in two states! We just went to a restaurant for dinner because it had a letterbox :-) We've also been seeing the sights--Mayflower II, Plymouth Rock and Plimoth Plantation!
We got to go on our whale watch on Wednesday!! It was quite an experience. The seas were VERY rough. About an hour ride out to the whales, but it seemed like longer. A few people were actually getting seasick. We saw MANY whales once we got there. Purple Penguin was not feeling well, so I decided to stay inside to keep her company. I clung to a railing and watched humpback whales spouting, bubble feeding, flipper flapping, and diving. I was afraid to even take out my camera! The ride back was even rougher. The crew passed out plastic baggies just in case we got sick! We survived and went out for a lovely seafood dinner to celebrate. It was so nice that I didn't want to tell Kit Kat that I am a vegetarian and I actually shared a lobster with her. It was pretty good.
On the way home from MA, we stopped at the Roger Williams Zoo in Providence, RI. Highlights of our visit included the giraffes, of course, and the butterfly exhibit. When we returned to Connecticut, we made a quick stop at the Deep River Library so I could stamp in at Kit Kat's Daisy Low letterbox (the first box they ever planted).
Then I went with Purple Penguin to visit a fellow Junior Girl Scout, who exchanged with me, and then I found my final Connecticut letterbox, Chester Changeable #5: Chester.
Thanks Kit Kat and family for showing me so many great things... I had a lot of fun!
Love,
Morning Glory
