Hit or Mystic

We’ve been done in by some poor planning on this vacation. Our full day in Boston turned into a four-hour sprint (we missed the earlier trains in from the suburbs) sans stroller (I forgot it at home). Our day with Grandma and Grandpa Moose in Mystic, Connecticut was to include a stop at its renowned aquarium until we discovered at the gate that we’d have to take out a second mortgage to cover the ticket costs. I guess we didn’t realize that we’d be financing a beluga whale for the opportunity to see one.

And so, as has been the case often this week, we were on to Plan B. On this day, we made up for our lack of foresight by making a beeline – a Plan B-line, if you will – for Mystic Pizza, the inspiration for and namesake of an ‘80s coming-of-age film featuring Julia Roberts. Olivia gave us her Hollywood look while waiting for her spaghetti.
