Last week, I was complaining to James about how we never do anything. Lately, our weekends have been eaten up by family and friend obligations, which is fine, but when we've had time to ourselves we've been too worn out to really take advantage of it. When we finally found ourselves with a free Monday, I suggested we head down to the shore instead of sitting on the couch. We decided on Old Saybrook, which is about a 45 minute drive, and made our way there without much of a plan other than to wander around and grab lunch. It's nice to be spontaneous once in a while. It makes me feel aliiiiiiive.
Obviously, when we saw this place I had to go in there. Luckily, the food was great!

This was called 'The Best Grilled Cheese You'll Ever Eat" or something like that. It lived up to the name.
After lunch we walked around Main Street for awhile and stopped in this little bookshop.
I have a thing for used bookstores. Lately I've tried to stay away because, well, I have a lot of books already, but I couldn't resist.
I made out pretty good.
Old Saybrook's favorite daughter, Katharine Hepburn and her cultural center. Kate and I actually have a lot in common. We were both born in Hartford, enjoy the Connecticut sea shore, and were labeled box office poison at pivotal points in our movie careers.
Oh, you didn't know about my love of old timey soda fountains? I guess it doesn't come up a lot because WHERE ON EARTH DO YOU EVER SEE THEM?
I was far too excited about this....peach soda with caramel cashew ice cream.
