Today we drove to Hartford, CT from Springfield, only 80 miles of driving. We’re in Hartford to visit Connie’s niece and her family. We are parked in their driveway tonight. One year old, Brayden, loved sitting in the driver’s seat!
We arrived in the early afternoon and were able to squeeze in a visit to Mark Twain’s home. The very large house was built in 1874 at a cost of $24,000. The house was decorated by Tiffany and the craftsmanship is wonderful. He wasn’t the best money manager at that time in his life and when he sold it in 1891, he sold it for a loss. He later had the head of Standard Oil handle his finances, and he then became a very wealthy man.
We have been looking forward to eating some seafood, so we went to a local restaurant, so we could try the seafood. I ordered lobster, and Connie ordered shrimp. I think the shrimp was better than my lobster.
