My Journey to the Last Full-Size Kmart in the United States via the Cross Sound Ferry!
Join me and my mom as we take the Cross Sound Ferry from New London, Connecticut to Orient Point, New York just to get to the last full-size Kmart in the United Stats in Bridgehampton, New York!
Here's a link to my walkthrough of the Bridgehampton Kmart on my main channel, Fleabitten Adventures.

This was my first time every taking the Cross Sound Ferry, and, if you've got the time and money, I would highly recommend it! It's not cheap though. The round trip for me an my mom, plus my car, was about $190.
Also, FYI, this is mostly a "no talk" video.

    Like a year or two ago my family went to the Mystic seaport in Mystic Connecticut with the home base foundation for military vets like my dad who's a army veteran and we just loved it we went on a boat tour because Mystic seaport isn't a seaport at all 😅😂 because that what our ship captain said when we went on the boat tour when we went and one of the ships we were able to go below deck 😄😅 yes that's what it called below deck and see where the captain slept and all of his crew members and they do have a live cooking demonstration and there's the trey planetarium and I went there and it was AWESOME 😎 to fill the astromoner in me since I love astronomy and they have a room full of games puppets and books they have a whaling hall 😅 and a discovery barn they have a gallery room a Thomas oyster room oh you can't forget the general store a church a Mystic river scale model a boat shop where they tell you about different types of boats used back then to sail the 7 seas😅 a horse 🐴🐎 and buggy ride a creative station you never know what it will be the day we went we built model boats with hot glue don't worry they don't hold up at all we learned from experience with all 3 of us me my sister and our only brother Luke and I was going through hot glue sticks like they were coming out of my wazo and they are pet friendly so you can bring your puppy with you and I do recommend to bring your own lunch because the food there is expensive and we brought sandwich making supplies and made sandwiches there and with the home base foundation for military vets we were able to bypass the general admission 🎫🎟️ line because of us going through with the home base foundation because we got some extra goodies we got stickers and my brother's sticker is withering away on his to go coffee cup before you can see some orange but it's like completely gone now 😅

      Thanks for subscribing! Yes, sometimes random videos get more views that I expect. However, it seems that videos of museums, state parks, and anything not dead mall or flea market related get very low numbers of views. I still want to post the videos, but I don't want them to "hurt" Fleabitten Adventures, so I figure I'll post them here and see what happens. Thanks!

    Just subscribed this morning. My grandparents used to live on Long Island and we'd take the ferry from Bridgeport to visit them. It's been over 35years but I still remember how much I loathed that one hour boat ride. For a ten year old it felt like a five hour trip. One of the favorite parts of the vacation was visiting the mall at night. My grandparents liked to go right before closing and we'd watch the stores close up. Might sound boring but it's really peaceful being in a virtually empty mall at night.

    • @fleabittensidequests

    44, 8, 202 to 7. Nice but 84 is likely faster on a Sunday am. I know scenic route for vid.Also at 1:09.23 you pass a closed hamburger and hot dog stand called Clamps its only open from late April or early may thru mid September, it has no ph# /, even address, not even a sign. Its the best hamburger in the state, since 1939. Trust me, try it.

    50 years ago I took all of my swim lessons on Silver Beach. The building remnants are those of a Convent that was wiped off the island in the 38 hurricane (I think that was the hurricane) Some time in the 70's the power company wanted to build a generation plant on that island. And keep in mind that several people have drown being swept off that bar as the tide is coming in.

      @@fleabittensidequests It can be four to six feet, small power boats often cross it at high tide as a shortcut into Milford Harbor. If low tide is overnight, fishermen will tell you active deer herds from shore routinely go out there to feed. Many people have been lost here over the years trying to walk the bar when the tide overtakes them.

    How high does the sandbar get once it covers the sand? My Dad use to carry me to the sandbar when I was little at Sound View. There was a spot of water that went over our heads and then we would be on the sandbar. So smooth and soft😃

    I went out there in my Dad's small sailboat in 74', anchored offshore and did some serious exploring in the middle before there was any trail. I succeded in finding something worth all the crawling through the underbrush - a 6ft shrine of Virgin Mary, which I learned later must have been leftover from when a monastery was there.

We had a tradition back then of a "Around The Island Race" to end the summer, followed by the mooring of the boats and going onto the little sandy beach for a cookout. So much fun ! I guess that was why I was curious afterwards to check out every inch of the island I could get to.
