Close but no cigar

November 29, 2014 Saturday

In an unusual happenstance, I’ve already blogged about what happened this morning!  I had one of the best breakfasts of my life and took a tour of the hometown of the blogging wizard himself, the amazing and talented Ryan Beaumont!  He is the best tour guide!  He knows the best spots and the history and just the right way to make me want to go back there!  Pop back in time to see food photos and read that entry.

I spent the rest of the day in the car, desperately trying to get home.  The traffic was awful, my back hurt, Hubby was cranky… when we got stuck behind an accident I finally gave up and stopped in Danbury, CT – 150 miles from home.  I was scared of driving the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend, but just could not go any further.  We found a lovely Courtyard by Marriott near the highway, picked up Chinese food, and collapsed.

Didn’t make it home. Traffic was a mess when we got to CT due to an accident, so we got off in search of dinner and ended up finding a hotel to stay in Danbury! Hope the traffic tomorrow is not too bad… 150 mi to go!

10:13pm Philip
Danbury. I sang in Danbury years ago. Hope it’s a restful evening

10:14pm
That big singing group?

It is quiet… you doing okay?

10:15pm Philip
Yup! Yeah, I’m good.

10:16pm
I’m a bit of a mess, too much time in the car.  Back is killing me.  But should recover overnight!

10:17pm Philip
Hear that, only three hours driving for me in the morning and then a little time on the bike

10:18pm
Nice.

10:21pm Philip
Keep smiling Sass.

Driving day

1:03pm Philip
Having fun? Beers with military pals.

2:00pm
Hiya kid! If you think driving for 13 hrs thru the wilds of four states heading east is fun, then I’m having it! But I don’t think it’s so great.  Hoping to make it to the hotel for a delicious dinner by 7 pm. Smooch the pals for me!

2:01pm Philip
Enjoy! Let me know how it is!

3:14pm Philip
Stop three, great bar, having a good time

6:47pm
Made it to the hotel! It’s so gorgeous! Dinner at 8 pm!

7:05pm Philip
Oh wonderful! Enjoy!
