I arrived in Mystic, Connecticut this week to stay with my college friend Stephanie, her husband Jonathon, her little nugget Oliver, and her pups Papi and Big Sir. Steph was my Thailand travel partner in crime, and it was so nice to reconnect and also to meet her son. We had a pretty laid back few days; walked the beaches, strolled around Mystic, ate lots of seafood, and hung at her awesome house located on the sound that leads to Mystic River. Thanks for the relaxation Steph!

Oh and we also saw Taylor Swift’s new Rhode Island home. Not bad.
