Mystic Pizza


I traveled yesterday to Providence RI to see my friend Melody who is here with her husband Bill while he is working on a short term project in Connecticut.  They are renting a beautiful condo in Stonington Borough.  It is my first time out here (other than in a Blizzard 25 yrs ago) and it is very interesting and very pretty.  Melody is showing me some of the nice old towns around here and today we went to Mystic where Mystic Pizza was filmed.  A nice town and we had a nice lunch right near the river and bridge.  Then Bill drove us up to Watch Hill tonight after dinner.  It's nice to see the boats along the water front here and see the beautiful "cottages" along the way too.  It's still pretty quiet in those "seaside" towns but I imagine they will get pretty busy as the weather gets better.  It has been a nice adventure to see some new things!!

OK, this is the first time I've added a picture and it's pretty dark and hard to see but it is a very neat boat that we saw tonight.  I sent the picture to Larry and told him THIS is my next boat!!  :-)  It's very pretty but looks like lots of work to keeping looking so pretty!!

We had a nice weekend up in Charlevoix over the Memorial Day Weekend but we also had work to do and didn't have a boat there yet so it was kind of weird to be there with no boat.  Travis and Allison came up Sat. night and stayed until Monday and then rode home with us Monday.  

Larry and Mark Hawks took the Formula up today and then drove the Jeep back that we had left up there.  So that worked out well that there was something there for them to drive back.  So now there will be a boat there the next time we go and will be able to get out on the water again.
