I've been working a lot lately. I'm in the midst of a crazy 2nd quarter schedule and honestly I forget where I am from one week to the next. On these trips I haven't had as much time as I would like to explore the areas I've visited. Last weekend was entirely different!
I'm currently in the middle of a trip to our home office in Boston. Since I had to stay through the weekend, I was able to escape for a few days and see some of the best New England has to offer.
On Friday night we went to Foxwoods Casino in CT. I'm not a big gambler. I enjoy about 2 or 3 hours of Craps and then I'm done. So I put in my time at the tables and then went exploring. This resort is insane! It's like a mini city! I loved everything about it! I was even able to grab a last minute ticket to see Brad Garrett...and let me tell you he was hilarious! From the food (I highly recommend Prime Steakhouse) to the shopping, it certainly was impressive.
I wasn't sure that the weekend could get any better but Saturday proved me wrong! Mystic Pizza is one of my all time favorite 80's movies. Since the town of Mystic was less than 8 miles from Foxwood's, I couldn't pass up the chance to see it for my self!
The town was so cute! Talk about a quintessential New England fishing village. I grabbed a slice at the famous Mystic Pizza restaurant and then went shopping where I found an amazing local jewelry designer that made awesome bracelets! And yes I bought one...did you really even have to ask?
All in all? An amazing weekend! It reminded me of how fortunate I am to have this job. It gives me the opportunity to see and experience places I normally wouldn't. I'm a lucky gal.

What fun! Isn't it a good feeling to have a "i love my job" week?! So glad you got to explore. Mystic is such a great little town.
