Our final day in MA dawned and we began to work our way back to Hartford for our flights the next day. We did most of the driving first thing in the morning so that we could do lunch at another of our favourite hangouts: The Montague Bookmill. It is an old mill deep in the hills that has been converted into a used bookstore and restaurant. Their slogan is particularly apt: Books you don’t need in a place you can’t find.
We made one last stop by Northampton in the afternoon. This involved a walk down the bike path to our Union Street apartment and ended with some ice cream. Then, because it was on the way to our hotel and because we had never taken the time to stop by when we lived in MA, we decided to go see the Dr. Seuss park in Springfield.
We got to the hotel early enough to do some swimming in the pool. The next day we caught our flights back to Winnipeg. We all had a great time and are already looking forward to our next family trip.
