Dippin' Dots Ice cream, Foxwoods Casino, Guy Fieri's Kitchen, Misquamicut Beach, Mohegan Sun Casino, RI, Westerly
Last week my sister and I decided to take Thursday and Friday off and make it a 5 day weekend. It was not very smart since the last days of the month and of the semester are normally our busiest at work.
We decided to stay at the hotel at Foxwoods Casino and during the day go to Misquamicut Beach in Rhode Island, just 20 minutes away.
We were also going to spend time with my friend in Westerly, RI. She just got engaged, and we planned to take the happy couple out for a celebration.
The plan was to go away for 3 days, and then spend Sunday and Monday with local friends.
We had fun, but things didn’t go according to plan.
It rained, so we never enjoyed the beach, or even the pool at the hotel.
We made zero money at the casino. Not that I ever expect to come home with money, but I expect to be able to play longer.
We never saw my friend. They both got ill and we couldn’t get together.
The meal at most restaurants were lackluster. Only one meal was worth the calories. The food at Guy Fieri’s never disappoints. One evening we even went to have appetizers at another restaurant after having had a very mediocre dinner at Hash House.
Fun place to be. Better when I win, but fun no matter what.
Dippin’ Dots is always a highlight for me. I have this ice cream every time I am there. Just love it!
The view from our room. This is the day we arrived. The only day it didn’t rain.
When I go to to Foxwoods, I have to stop at Mohegan Sun.
Just a pleasure to be out and see people with no masks. Feels normal again.
We drove and walked around Mystic, CT and the sea shore of Rhode Island. That is always fun!
Sunday and Monday we spent some times with friends we hadn’t seen in ages. That was a lot fun.
Plans go wrong for different reasons. Sometimes it is just to remind us to make better plans next time 🙂 or to teach us to be more flexible and understanding.
I am leaving work earlier tomorrow to go away for the weekend again. This time we are going to a resort in NJ to just enjoy nature and the pool.
Stay tuned for a date report. 🙂
Feeling blessed, wishing you all a blessed weekend!
Blessed with a Star on the Forehead 
Plan B sometimes scores an A grade! Sounds like a great time. The important thing, too, was that you spent time with your sister! Can’t wait for details of NJ trip and date update! 🤍

May flowers always line your path
