Depending on where breakfast is I might just meet up with the group at one of the other destinations.
Kimballs has excellent burgers and Ice cream..would be a great lunch stop.
Let me know what and where and I can decide. It doesn't make sense for me to drive south one hour to go to New Hampshire when I live on the border.

 

In response to Stan's message, I wouldn't mind breakfast then the wine tour. I have done the brewery thing a few times (Newport Storm, Sam Adams, Fitzger's) so the wine tour would be a new experience. Whatever we decide as a group is fine with me though. I will likely need to skip the 3rd activity as i need to be back in Seekonk for 4 - 4:30. It will just be nice to cruise up and get some food anyway.

As long as Rick gets his bran muffin he should be all set. HEHE

 

If Rick eats a bran muffin. He certainly will not be leading the pack. If you know what I mean!! We'll put him as the chase vehicle.

DAMSRT6, I am with you, maybe we (I think Robby will join) can do breakfast on the way up, do the winery tour and meet up with the rest at the farm stand or the brewery.

Come on Phil, what's 1 hour of driving to be amongst friends for a fun time!?
Stan

 

I don't eat bran muffins but a hearty breakfast of chicken livered butt heads is always good. Watch out or I'll lead the pack into a speed trap just for spite!!! Just kidding, about the speed trap.
Trail

 

If you can find a nice little spot that serves good breakfast, then do it and let us know where it is.
Not a Friendly's though!! We'll see if we can work something out. Driving with no glucose in me would be a death wish. Diabetes is a pain, so is the alternative.
Rick

 

You are all welcome to come up to Winchendon for breakfast. As I said before they make a great meatball omelet. It is right on the Ma./NH border.
We could do the brewery after that and the wine or Kimballs after that.

 

You know what you said!

Nothing but good things Rick. I am sure we will see you again soon.

 

Rick how about joining us at the Chrysler Show in Mystic CT on 6/27?

Jen, we are gonna miss you!

There is a Cracker Barrel by the Wrentham Outlets. All those who are coming from the South and want to meet for breakfast should arrive there at 9 AM. That gives us time to eat.

After that we hit the Nashoba Winery for the 11AM tour. Out of there by 12:30 or 1PM and head up to meet the rest of the crowd at the Kimball Farm.

After a brief greeting there we can head to the brewery for the 3 or 4 o'clock tour there.

Robby363, You and I should leave around 8:15 am to arrive at 9am in Wrentham.

Crossfiretrail, is that too late for your breakfast time?

How does that sound? Stan

 

I like Winchendon for breakfast, as I to can't see driving south.
As the Brewery and Clydesdale was the main destination, going there next would be good. Then we can split and go to wine or Kimball's.
I would do Kimball's, as I may have my grandson with me ( if his mother allows it )

 

Crossfirefun, Are you willing to head up the 2nd group of late comers who do not want to go to the early breakfast and winery? You all can plan the lunch at Kimballs then off to the Brewery. The rest of us would meet you all at Kimballs then we all can travel to the Brewery together in the afternoon.

Retired3303, I would say you would probably hook up with Crossfirefun and his half of the gang at Kimballs for lunch.

There are 3 or 4 of us coming up from the south and partaking in the morning activities so far.

Hi all. I am sorry to say I have been told by my boss that I have a mandatory work day this sat. Usually I can get out of it with my seniority but I am the only one of my group certified to run the machine being used.
I hope you all have a great time. I will miss being there.

I would have loved to lead the second group but must pass this to others.

 

Phil, sorry to hear that you can't make it! Bummer. I'll call you when we're ready to head to the brewery to check on you.

Retired3303, I guess that leaves you with us. Our route and schedule is listed. It is up to you to decide when you want to join us. Meet the other 2 from RI and ride with them early in the morning or catch up with us later when we head to the brewery. Let us know.

To all, Seems like no reasdon for the Kimball Farms stop, we should go straight from the winery to the brewery. Chime in with your opinion.

Stan

 

Hi Stan - That's fine with me. I am going to do the breakfast with you, Robby, Rick, and hopefully my friend John who has a Crossfire. The winery definitely sounds like a good time and I will probably have to head back South before you guys continue to the brewery. I will check in again later tonight to see if anything changes but i will be at the Cracker Barrel for 9AM. I will PM you my cell just in case something changes.

 

On second thought, we may do the Kimball Farms stop if everyone is hungry again by that time rolls around. We'll see.
If we do go to a Kimball Farm, we can go to the one in Westford, which is basically along our route to the brewery.
Everyone have a good night and prepare for a fun day!!
Stan

 

See y'all in the morning. I like the kimballs idea. otherwise I might get home too late. Need to take care of the dog. The wife's away, so I'm left to take Alfie around to his favorite spots.
See you in the AM. Rick

 

I'll meet you all at the Cracker Barrel in the morning.

 

Well guys, How did it go? I was late getting home so never even had a chance to make it.

 

It was an awesome day!! Had a good breakfast. Had fun with the winery tour and tasting. Had fun at the brewery tour and tasting. Then went to Kimball Farms in Westford for early dinner.

The bad thing is Robby's car had a fight with a dumpster and lost. For some reson Robby couldn't push that dumpster out of the way with his car. And no, he didn't drink any alcohol.
