The Husband and I took a trip back east this weekend for a
family wedding. We spent three beautiful days on the Connecticut
coastline. We were able to visit with
friends and family who lived in the area, a double bonus.
We arrived a little after midnight on Thursday and rented a
car to make the hour and change drive to Groton, where The Brother-in-law (who
will now be known as The Subdriver, as there are too many Brother-in-Laws) and
The Sister-in-law (who will now be known as The Subdrivers Wife as there are
too many Sister-in-Laws) currently reside (these are the same wonderful host
and hostess from our trip to
Minneapolis ). After driving through what The
Husband and I deemed “The middle of no-where” we arrived at their home and
tucked ourselves into bed close to 3am, Friday was going to be a big day.
After an early morning hanging with a college friend I drove
into New Haven for lunch to meet another college friend, who we shall name The Lady
Doctor (as she is a lady who is also an OB/GYN). She suggested we meet up at Bru Room at Bar, a really fantastic
brewery and pizza place. The Lady Doctor works at Yale and said that she comes
here fairly often, as it’s only a few blocks away. When I asked what she
suggested we eat, she said that the Mashed Potato, Garlic and Bacon pizza is
amazing. I’m not a huge lover of bacon, but as she described it the bacon is
necessary because it adds some saltiness and really elevates the pizza. So,
because I trust The Lady Doctor, I went with it.
