For a few weeks in Oct. 2010, Traveling Haley visited. She knocked on the door on Oct. 1st.
She was greeted by Annie and Marina.
"Welcome to CT," they both said.
"What?! I thought I was going to NH!" Haley didn't know what to do.
Annie explained that this was just a detour and they were heading back to NH, soon.
Meanwhile, Susie, Liz and Traveling Sophie were playing a game.
"Hi guys, this is Haley." Annie said.
Susie introduced herself and Haley recognized her right away, "We're blog friends," she smiled.
"It's nice to finally meet," agreed Haley.
"And we're blog friends, too, oui," Sophie replied, "oh I'm so glad to see you!"
The girls all chatted and played some games.

A little later, Haley and Marina visited the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion.
Inside the small gift shop. I love that black mask!
Close-up of the pretty mask (I love masquerade masks, like that).
The mansion was a location of the movies, The Stepford Wives and House of Dark Shadows.
On Oct. 2nd, Haley and Sophie watched some go-kart racing that one of my cousins was in.
Watching the race.
After the race, the girls took a quick photo by the beach.
A pretty photo-op!
On the way home, Haley wanted to stop at the Yankee Candle Flagship store in MA.
By the King Candle.
Haley wanted to find her fragrance.
She's creative which was buttercream.

And hanging out with a knight.
Oct. 17th: Samantha J., Haley and Kirsten wanted to make some ghost pops, after seeing Piper's tutorial for them on her blog.
Haley tried to make some jack o' lanterns, too. They wound up being a little trickier because the chocolate became too thick and then too thin when they added some milk to it. They were still yummy, though.
The ghosts.
"Mmmm, these chocolate chips are good," Kirsten said, popping one into her mouth.

A few days later, it was time for Haley to say farewell and be on her way to her next host. First she hugged Liz and Annie.
"Bye Susie and Marina," replied Haley, "we'll chat on our blogs, Susie." "Oh yes," Susie nodded, "have a fun and safe trip on the rest of your travels."
