Dunkaroos

Since I didn't have to work yesterday or today, I decided to hit the town and do some exploring. When my mom, Aunt Beth, and Gertie Bomb were here, we did some sight-seeing around Mystic and went to see the worlds largest casino -- Foxwoods -- where we donated some money sadly and drove up and down the parking ramp for at least 15 minutes trying to find an exit. So I decided to try and learn my way around the towns a bit and not look like such a tourist (despite the fact I am probably one of few cars with a Michigan license plate). I did successfully find downtown Mystic with the help of my GPS of course. The town of Mystic is really a neat place. It reminds me alot of Mackinac Island, but with cars and less horse poop. They have alot of really cool shops right near the water and an old drawbridge that was made in the 1920's I believe. I'm sure this place is hoppin' once spring/summer comes around.

The highlight of my day had to come from my trip to the grocery store. I was in desperate need of groceries and needed things for lunches this coming week. As I'm cruising the aisles with my 'buggy' (as they are referred to around here), something caught my eye hidden on the bottom corner of the shelf. Low and behold it was...wait for it...Dunkaroos! One of thee greatest snacks ever created! I mean kangaroo shaped cookies with frosting to dip them in...it doesn't get any better! This was my all time favorite snack during my elementary school days! They are nowhere to be found in stores back home. Because of this, Connecticut was bumped up a couple more notches in awesome-ness!

Well my weekend is officially over and its back to work in the AM!
