We be trippin'

We picked the absolute worst time to drive through NYC. Traffic made me wonder how people live and work here without killing each other.

Yesterday, we took a break and hit a little cafe' called the Olympia Tea Room near Watch Hill in Rhode Island. We sat in their sidewalk seating area and watched the boats. We gulped down a double order of raw oysters-on-the-halfshell, then walked around the shopping area with Grayson until it started getting dark.

We're staying in Mystic, Connecticut at the Hyatt Place. It's a nice suite hotel with plenty of room for all our stuff. (traveling with a 6 month old, you have to take everything - the hotel staff thought we were moving in.)

We'll check in again later.

Oh and by the way HAPPY BIRTHDAY Grayson, who is 6-months old today.

you MUST try the grinders and pizza in CT, i grew up there and it is worth trying. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE eat some for me. on my blog header i have "oh to eat grinders and pizza from the east coast again" and i'm talkin about CT!
hope you are enjoying the gorgeous fall scenery. also, if you are still in MYSTIC try to visit mystic seaport. there are also haunted houses in mystic where they say witches used to live in until they got burnt at the stake. i am SO jealous of your vacation. new london has a beach on the atlantic, as well.
