We got up, grabbed breakfast out at a diner with S & S, and bid them farewell...
Our first stop was about an hour up the road in New Haven, Connecticut...
In
New Haven, we made stops at both the birthplace and first home of
President George W. Bush. George W. Bush was born at Grace-New Haven
Hospital, what is now Yale-New Haven Hospital...
We're probably one of the only people to stage a photo op right in front of the hospital sign!
From
there, we headed over to the Yale campus, and George W. Bush's first
home. Since he was born when his father was in law school, his parents
lived in a married housing apartment located in this building...
For lunch we stopped at Louis' Lunch, one of the establishments that claims to have served the very first hamburger sandwich!
It's
a teeny tiny building - probably seats no more than 25 people
inside... Things to know ~ their hamburger sandwich is served on
toasted white bread (no bun) and both ketchup and mustard are strictly
prohibited...
Next on my list was a stop in Mystic, Connecticut...
What a beautiful seaport!
As
pretty as it is, the seaport isn't why I planned this stop... I just
couldn't be so close and pass up the chance to sample the one and only Mystic Pizza! Yes, I am a fan of the movie
and am always thrilled when I happen to find it randomly playing on
television... We just had to stop in, and besides, I had yet to eat
lunch (since hamburgers aren't my thing)...
It was some really good pizza!
We continued on and made a stop a Brown University just for fun...
before
stopping for the night in Plymouth, though a little later than
originally planned ~ we'll start off the day tomorrow at the "rock"...
