The drive from Voluntown, Connecticut to Galilee, Rhode Island was short however Caitlin and I made a seven-hour stop over at Mystic Seaport. This somewhat commercial development got its start in 1926 and has grown to a whole village centered on a turn of the century shipping town with three beautiful tall ships with numerous smaller ones. The non-profit has brought in historic buildings that were associated with the maritime services. We not only walked the ships and the harbor but also learned a great deal attending the demonstrations, too.
Both of us were exhausted from standing and walking all day as we headed out for Fishermen’s Memorial State Park on Judith Pond at the village of Galilee.
We were amazed at the 200 site layout of the park with every available site taken except the one that I had reserved the week before. The park was Anytown, USA; folks and families were packed in for the three day 4th of July weekend; flags, coolers, kids on bikes and dogs. Caitlin and I walked part of the park and saw only a half a dozen vehicles from out of the New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts area. It was time to hunker down and wait out the weekend.
