Merry Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve!

Joe, Olivia and I made the long ride down to Bridgeport Connecticut on Saturday when he got out of work. It took a tad over three hours to get here. Thankfully, I had a few drinks at the restaurant before we left which made the trip long haul a bit more tolerable.

Since we have been down here we have been relaxing and Joe has been doing some last minute shopping. We (  the three of us, Joe's parents who flew up from Florida, and his grandparents) decided to go out to dinner last night.

I searched Google and discovered Bin 100 in Milford, CT. They had a great pre-fixed menu-- which four of us order from. Four courses for $32-- you cant beat that!  And to top it all off they have everyone a complimentary after dinner drink when they dropped the check off. Lucky for me Joe and his mom don't drink so I had THREE  :-) If you ever check out the restaurant ask for Paulo, he was great!

  Alcohol always makes the holidays better... especially when you are with inlaws family... .  Agreed?

Back From R.I.

After a relaxing weekend in Rhode Island we are back at home.

Sunday, the three of us went for a walk through my dad's neighborhood . Then later in the afternoon my stepbrother and his family came over. We celebrated Christmas early with a nice lunch, Christmas music and some gift opening. Olivia had a great time hanging out with her cousins and the dog Patience.

My cheesecake that I made must have been good wonderful because there was only one piece left this morning.

Yesterday, we did some shopping  and grabbed some lunch at  the Cuban Revolution. It was so nice to have lunch at a restaurant that has both character and good food.  Places like that are hard very hard to find up here in N.H. I really miss the restaurants in Rhode Island  so Joe and I try to make an effort to go out to eat every time we are down visiting.

Hopefully we can make a trip down to use another dining card that was given to us from The Tiny Hummingbird. Thanks Tara!
