Skyman- looking at the route (and since I've lived in NE CT all my life), instead of going 169 north from woodstock into southbridge, it might be a more interesting ride if we go 169N into woodstock, left on 171, right on 198 which takes us into the center of southbridge. Or even better, 169 to a left on 197S to a right on 198. 197 is fun to drive.
On our way back we could do 169S out of southbridge to 197N to 131. 131 from southbridge to quinnebaug is pretty un-scenic, in my opinion.
I'm trying to make google maps show the route I want, but it's being dumb. It's pretty simple if you look at a map though.
Or you can tell me you know what you're doing and I should butt out.
EDIT: Here's the first route I was talking about
