Red Sox Country
Spent another gray, cloudy Sunday afternoon exploring the Connecticut country side. Today we headed to the northwest hills but got sidetracked with some showers so we altered our course and ended up in the village of Winsted in the town of Winchester. Winsted is the “downtown” section of Winchester and we found a nice ice cream and mini-golf place called R&B Sports World that has a challenging 18 hole mini-golf course, batting cages, go-cart track and an arcade. When we arrived the place was hopping with many, many kids running around but we had the mini-golf course to ourselves.
After we completed our 18-hole odyssey, we stopped inside for a treat. As the sign says they offer 24 different soft serve flavors and a dozen Gifford hard ice cream options. I went for a kiddie cup of Gifford’s mint, chocolate chip and with 24 soft serve flavors Mighty Mo had…yes, chocolate soft serve with chocolate sprinkles on a wafer cone. Both were delicious and hit the spot after a damp 18 holes.
I never would have guessed this would be Red Sox country but more power to R&B Sports World. This is a nice place for a Sunday drive rain or shine!
