Maintaining the Tradition


So yesterday afternoon we drove from Sea Cliff up to Windsor Locks, Connecticut, where Bradley International Airport is located.  It was a three and a half hour drive, fortunately with no traffic or weather.  The forecast was for rain and thunderstorms.  So we booked a room in a motel and had dinner.  This morning we realized that it was TUESDAY so we looked for a nearby Dunkin, and found one half a mile north of the motel.  So, in order to maintain tradition, we had our coffee and donuts there. The bonus was that the Dunkin was right across the street from the runways of Bradley International Airport.  So we got to watch aircraft taking off and landing.  It's not the beach, exactly, but a nice change of pace.  We were there to pick up Kathy's cousin who was visiting family in Connecticut, and bring her back home with us for a visit.  Fortunately, our trip home was relatively painless, except for a 30 minute delay in bumper-to-bumper on I-95 because of a car accident.  I could have been worse, and we arrived home safely.


This is a United Express flight that arrived during our breakfast, as seen through the front window of Dunkin!

  3. I did NOT worry that we couldn't find a Dunkin' in New England! Very funny! "Dunkin' Donuts, is an American multinational coffee and donut company, founded by Bill Rosenberg in Quincy, Massachusetts in 1950." You're welcome! :-)
