Debbie's Visit

The past couple of days we have had the pleasure of hosting Sarah's mom's first visit to New England since we moved here last June. We had a brief four day visit, but we were able to cram in a lot of fun sightseeing. Specifically, Sarah's mother, Debbie, is really into weaving and fiber arts so we planned her trip around the New England Weavers Seminar (NEWS) so we could visit and take in some great finds. Justin wasn't able to take the time off from work on Thursday and Friday so Debbie and Sarah headed up to Northampton, MA by themselves to visit the vendors and exhibits at NEWS. Debbie was even able to get in a nice 4-hour visit to WEBS, one of the largest fiber stores in the country!!! Saturday, the three of us spent the morning and early afternoon traveling the Connecticut and Rhode Island coast on our way to visit Debbie's Aunt and Uncle in Rochester, Massachusetts. Debbie has been asking us about Mystic Pizza since we moved up here (it is a restaurant located in Mystic, Connecticut that was made famous by a Julia Roberts film in 1988), so we stopped there on Saturday to check it out. It was, quite honestly, the BEST pizza we have ever had. On Sunday we went to church with Sarah's Great Aunt and Uncle before heading back to Connecticut. It was a brief visit, but we had a blast as usual!!
