Vacation in CT - part 3

On Thursday, we visited the PEZ factory and visitor's center in Orange, CT.  How fun!  We got to see them making the current line of Marvel superheroes, we got a free sample of just-made grape PEZ, and we learned a ton about PEZ.  For example, did you know it was invented in Austria and that PEZ is short for peppermint in German?





After PEZ, we gave the kids one of their first experiences of Pepe's pizza in New Haven.  They ate like champs and were treated with hats (we're not sure why but they loved them so who cares).




And if that wasn't enough, Will, Pop and Daddy visited the Prospect Volunteer Fire Department to see Pop's firehouse.  Will sat in all of the trucks and listened carefully as Pop explained what each of the different trucks was used for.
