We got back from Mystic on Friday. P ended up driving up on Tuesday instead of taking the train because our hotel was not within walking distance to the town or water as we had thought. While the drive back was long, we were both very grateful that he opted to drive.
It was nice being out of the office for a week, but it was almost more exhausting being at the conference. The morning sessions were long and draining. Fortunately we had some time in our schedule in order to do a little bit of site seeing. We ate lobster, explored Mystic, checked out Foxwoods Casinos where I learned I'm not much of a gambler, found a small waterfront town in Rhode Island, and went to Newport, Rhode Island to explore some of the mansions from the Gilded Age. Here are some pictures from the week:

Yesterday our friend Matt was in town from California. We had him and a few others over to cook out in the backyard then we headed to Standard, an outdoor beer garden a few blocks a way, for some more drinks. It was a perfect summer night to be outdoors with friends and cold beer.

It's going to be tough getting up for work tomorrow but I have lots of fun in store for this week too: Harry Potter in IMAX 3D, Red Sox game, and a visit from my older sister!
