The Littons Visit Rhode Island
Posted by Jess in Day to Day

Last weekend our good friends Joe and Shirley Litton came up for a nice long weekend to our little state. Ironically, we spent most of our time in Connecticut, but oh well...

The weather was fabulous! Sixty degrees, and not a cloud in the sky. Sadly, most of the leaves were down, but there were a few flaming red trees around in scattered places.

A great time was had by all, including Reboot, who serenaded Joe and Shirley's arrival by squeaking "Duckie" (her stuffed duck toy) over and over.

We took Joe, Shirley, and my mom to our favorite sushi restaurant, Peking Tokyo, in Mystic, CT. The night consisted of ritual Sake bombs (Sapporo beer with a shot of hot sake), and Matt introduced Joe to the famous Peking Tokyo rite of passage: a piece of wasabi tobiko (roe soaked in wasabi).

The rest of the weekend consisted of driving around locally to take in the local scenery, having lunch at Mohegan Sun, and finally, a nice homemade dinner of buffalo/teriyaki tenders and a crackling fire.

All in all, a great weekend! Joe took some pictures of our neighborhood on the way out, and captured this interesting shot of our indian burial ground. What is that glow in the bottom right corner? Exactly, that is the question. A high-res version is available if anyone wants to see it.

The rest of Joe's piccies are available here.
