As we were driving along and approaching the lunch hour we decided to just do a quick search on my phone for the closest KOA. When the Mystic River KOA showed up and we noticed it was only 30 miles away we knew that would be our stopping point. We arrived and set-up camp just in time to enjoy a nice lunch outdoors. Adam was thrilled to learn they had a pool so he and Andy spent some time enjoying what would turn out to be the last swim session of summer. Harper napped and I did some work. Adam also got to check out the insanely huge and super fun tube slides they had - wow - what a campground!
Later that afternoon we drove into the town of Mystic River and spent a couple hours walking around and taking in all the sites and sounds of this adorable river town. We even got to watch the historic Mystic River Draw Bridge open up - the boys (all 3 of them) loved that for sure.
For dinner we ordered carry-out pizza from - where else - Mystic Pizza! We've never seen the movie but it still seemed like the right thing to do. Harper and I had fun playing dominoes and Adam made friends at the park while we waited for Andy to return with our pies - they were delicious!
That night Adam got to enjoy a movie under the stars (just love all the amenities that KOA's offer) while Andy and I enjoyed the campfire and the amazing starry sky. The campground is situated on a huge farm so there was hardly any light pollution - it really was a perfect night.
Where to tomorrow we asked ourselves...we decided to wing it again as it worked so perfectly this time around...
