Trip Up the Coast

So I've been a little busy lately. Now that its nice outside I've been spending more time out doors and less time hunched over a computer inside. So I wanted to share a little about our memorial day trip up the coast. Mike and I drove up to Newport Road Island. Newport is a cute town which truly embodies the essence of New England. It is actually a small island with LOTS of mansions. We went to two beautiful mansions while in Newport as well as the International Hall of Fame. Following our tour of Newport we drove to Mystic CT. We stayed the night here. Later that evening after dinner/movie we went to Mohegan Sun. I guess its the worlds 2nd largest casino. I'd never been so we thought we would go check it out. It really was HUGE. we we parked then had to be shuttled over to the casino. While in the actual casino portion of the resort I felt SUPER out of place (as I should I guess.) However once we excited that area we found ourself surrounded by restaurants, stores and game centers. We found a really cool arcade that we hung out in for a while. We liked it there. Anyways that was quite the experience. The next morning we slept in and really enjoyed that. We then spent the morning exploring the cute town of mystic (where the 1988 film Mystic pizza with Julia Roberts was filmed.) It was lots of fun. All in all we enjoyed our weekend off and away exploring the New England Coast.
