Weekend Update

The weekend was good. We had Jen's friend from Buffalo in, so we did a lot of touristy stuff. Mystic Aquarium on Saturday was a little too hot and crowded. I'm used to going in the off-season, so the crush of parents with strollers was a little much for me. Even the penguins didn't want to be there. They just sat around looking too hot to move.

We also did Foxwoods on Saturday. I lost money, but the new parking garage is excellent.

We went to Newport on a Sunday afternoon in August with our out-of-town visitor and it actually wasn't the worst idea in the world. The beaches and downtown were only slightly crowded. We were able to find a parking spot! (the recurring theme of the weekend was "good parking"...) And it's nice to bring people from out of town around on sightseeing tours. It helps remind me how beautiful are around here. Awww!
