Norwalk Aquarium

Today I spend some time in South Norwalk.

I originally just drove around, trying to find a little deli or something to get some lunch, but I ended up walking around a good portion of their downtown. I did indeed get some lunch, at Naked Greens, but I also went to the Norwalk Aquarium!

So cool! Anyway, tomorrow is my first day of my internship, so I should probably get some sleep. 'Night!

How I spent all of today

Road Trip Day 2: I made it!

I'm here! I'm here!

Left Ohio around 8 am this morning and traveled through Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and finally arrived at my summer home in Connecticut.

(Quick aside: omg this house is gorgeous. GORGEOUS. Seriously, the guest bedroom is almost bigger than my entire current apartment.)

Traffic was very uneventful, right up until I got NYC and headed north on 95.

Highlights of  the trip? I stopped at a random Wendy's in Pennsylvania to get some lunch, and they were celebrating a worker's 80th birthday. They had cake and wanted everyone to wish her a happy birthday. So I did!

Favorite license plate? "YYY GUY" Get it? Wise Guy?

At any rate, I have officially made it half way across the country in one piece, minus one hubcap for my poor car (seriously, it fell off about 5 miles away from my destination when I was stuck in traffic. Lady pulled up next to me and asked, "Did you you know you lost a hubcap about a half mile back?" Well, no I didn't, and thank you....but what am I supposed to do about it now?!)

I just ordered some sushi, and plan on relaxing out by the pool for the rest of the afternoon.

Toodles!

Road Trip Day 1: RAIN RAIN GO AWAY

Well, I'm halfway (give or take a few hours) to NYC!

I'm currently at a Days Inn in Girard, Ohio, near the Ohio/Pennsylvania border. I had originally wanted to make it to Dubois, PA, but some heavy rain and flash flooding back in Michigan put me seriously behind schedule.

Aside from the heavy rain for most of the trip (again, did I mention the flash flooding in between Fowlerville and Ann Arbor?!) and the annoying construction on most of the Ohio turnpike, it has been a mostly uneventful trip.

Here is a map of my travels, in case anyone is interested!

Anyway, I am going to grab some dinner, and then try to get some shut-eye. I plan on getting up rather early (well, by my standards) in order to make to New Canaan at a decent hour.
