Trip to Connecticut

I had a great week in Connecticut with the Everhart's . It was great to see Ellie and Jackson and help out Heather around the house a little. With a little bit of coffee each morning we were able to finish some decorating, paint the bathroom, and make the house feel a little more settled. It had been close to ten years since I had been back to the Connecticut area and it was fun to be there again. Dunkin' Donuts coffee was a nice familiar taste from the good old days of 5am crew practice in the Bristol Harbor in Rhode Island.

One night we drove down to New Haven to see where Gary works, drive around the Yale campus and eat some great pizza at Sally's in Little Italy. There was a great look out that we stopped at with the kids that overlooked all of New Haven and the Harbor. Heather and I were even able to sneak away for an afternoon of shopping and a great lunch at Nordstrom's (courtesy of Barbara...thanks). Brought us back to our days of meeting at Nordstrom's on our lunch breaks.

This was a week I needed..... time with one of my closest friends, a small little break from the craziness at home and some relaxing mornings with no alarm clocks. Thanks for having me guys, I love you all and miss you.
