Marvelous Mystic

1.  We enjoyed a great day at Mystic Seaport!  We joined in March and have now been twice on beautiful spring days.  We're always amazed at how empty it is.  We stopped into the membership building for some free lemonade and the lady there told us that it is wall to wall people after Memorial Day.  Ah, good to know!  Their new restaurant Latitude (something) was open and we had a really delicious lunch.  It is upscale, but also kid-friendly with a nice kids' menu.  We highly recommend it! 

2.  On the way home we stopped first at Tim Horton's, which is now a tradition whenever we're in the area of a Timmy's.  I had their iced cappuccino and Rich had hot chocolate!  We then stopped at the Christmas Tree Shoppe and A.C. Moore and found some things for Lola's birthday party.  She is having a mermaid party and it's really tough to find mermaid-y things.  We've branched out a bit to include other sea things to make the planning a bit easier.  We bought the doll cake pan at the craft store and then came home to watch some youtube videos of mermaid cake decorating.  Of course, other things come up when searching and we found ourselves watching a tutorial of a woman putting on mermaid eyeshadow.  Then Lola wanted to watch something with Barbies.  I let her watch and then came to check that she didn't click on anything else and found that what I thought was a kid's video was a porn video!  Thank goodness it said "Blocked for your safety."  Yikes!  Be careful of youtube!!

3.  To continue with my scary story from yesterday...this morning I was putting on mascara and noticed that the side of my head that had the hair burned also had burned eyelashes!!  I am still so shocked that I wasn't hurt and so grateful!!  Rich cooked another burger tonight and I let him light the grill!
