Mystic

My "sister" and future roomie Nikole was home this weekend visiting. Nikole, her parents, and I went down to Mytsic Connecticut for the day on Friday. We ate at Mystic Pizza (yes the one the movie was made of with Julia Roberts). It was interesting since I have been to Mystic before and never ate there. The pizza was pretty good but I must say I have had better. After pizza we walked down the street because all the cute shops were having a sidewalk sale. It was a beautiful day to walk around, and the shops were right next to the water. I got a photograph taken by a local artist of a water scene at sunset with two swans. It is already matted, I am going to have it framed and hang it in my bathroom in my new place.

After we visited all the shops we went to a place we saw down the road on the way into town called You've Got to be Beading. It was a bead store that also had a studio that you could make your own jewelery right there. This was perfect since I have never beaded before but was interested in starting. Nikole made a simple beaded pearl bracelet. I made these cute earrings.

Afterwords we met my Dad and Brother for dinner at Dakota steakhouse. They have the BEST salad bar with all the trimmings. For dessert I had the yummiest blueberry crisp. The blueberries were a little to tart for me but the crisp part was delicious. I could have not asked for a more relaxing fun filled day.
