The seafood at Mountainview Station is terrific &#8211; highly recommended! They also have some interesting T-shirts for sale that reek of double <em>entendre<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, on Saturday, a second trip to CT to visit Ooma&#8217;s son and family. Wonderful people and always a joy. We did takeout from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phodelightthaict.com\/home-1\">Pho Delight Thai Restaurant<\/a> in Willimantic CT and it, too, was terrific. I can&#8217;t say I haven&#8217;t been eating well. Before dinner the kids had fun painting stuff. Nothing like paint to work up an appetite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a
