Our flight home was Aug 5. It didn’t leave until the early evening so we at least were able to have a leisurely day packing everything up. We popped back down to Amato’s for Heather to pick out a souvenir since she hadn’t picked gotten one yet. She had seen a “Spudster” stuffed animal in Canada, but we didn’t buy it. But, lo and behold, Amato’s had a whole line of Spudster creatures. She picked a cat and named it Potato.
After lunch we headed to Friendly’s for one last round of sundaes. After several layers of miscommunication we ended up with ~15 of us there. So it was quite the farewell party.
Somewhere along the way in Cromwell I picked up three boxes of Funny Bones to take home too.



We flew out of Bradley with a layover in Chicago. We landed in Chicago early, but then couldn’t get a gate until 25 minutes late. We had just enough time to get across the concourse, use a bathroom, and get on the next flight. So it was good that we were getting fed dinner on the plane.
