My favorite summer time place to have lunch or dinner is The Blue Oar in Haddam, CT.
Sitting right on the Connecticut River with dock space for boaters who want to come in for a meal, it’s the perfect place to bring a picnic basket with a bottle of wine, a table cloth and a candle or two. The tables are colorful and don’t really need adornment, but they welcome your “Input” and many people bring their own ambiance. They don’t serve alcohol, but you are welcome to bring your own. That’s just what the folks next to us did….
Two Weimaraners that have it made….
Dog days of summer indeed.
I say we organize a blog convention here one of these days…. you in?
That is a great place!
I'm in! I'd love to be there, looking out over the seamless water, right now. I'd sit with you and we'd chat far into the night.
