Rest Day

Today, we slept in because we were tired from the New York trip. Karen, Erica's sister, provided us with a luxurious guest room. The bathroom smelled nice, the sheets were clean, and a cool breeze floated in through the open windows. Simply gorgeous! Thank you Karen and Paul! I felt like royalty.

Erica and I needed to make plans for when Emily and Hannah came to Connecticut. So, we went to a local coffee shop for about an hour, called The Daily Grind, I believe. It had just opened not too long ago and was a very cute place. It was at this coffee shop that I looked across the street and saw the red door with "USA" written over it. Hence, came the idea for the blog and its name. Yay!

The Daily Grind only stayed open until three, so Erica and I packed up and moved over to Starbucks in Vernon, CT. Erica wanted to run errands, so I sat at the Starbucks. It was a very odd Starbucks... There was a strange couple sitting next to me while I was wasting my time trying to figure out HTML. A tall, lean man in denim was talking, talking, talking, while a lady maybe his age? a little older? was nodding her head going, "I know. You told me," every once in a while.

When Erica came back, they proceeded to make conversation with us. Now, I am all for having conversations with strangers, but these people were drinking something else besides Starbucks coffee! They had to be. While the woman is telling Erica all these grand stories about Cape Cod, lean man is talking over her trying to tell us about how all his friends have died in these freak accidents. I believe one involved barbed wire? I'm not sure. I'll have to ask Erica about that one. And another story had to do with a snow mobile. Oh! I believe someone was decapitated by barbed wire or something. Ya, I know.

When we were finally able to leave that Starbucks, Erica and I sat in the car and were like, What just happened??

We left there different people, I tell you. At home, Karen and Paul were making us dinner! Dinner was great! Stuffed bell peppers. Mmmm. That night, we watched Wipe Out. Karen and Paul went to sleep after that. It was so entertaining watching Paul laugh at Wipe Out. That's what made me like the show, actually. Hearing his hearty, joyful laugh. I loved it!

And now we come to the part of the blog where Erica and I watch a movie almost every night. This night was 27 Dresses.

Then, we went to bed. It was a quiet day today... but that's alright. We need a rest day every once in a while. :)
