As I mentioned in my previous post I was traveling for business and didn't have a chance to log into the blog.

In the morning I had to bring my foster kittens to the shelter (they are going to be fixed and chipped) and then drove directly to work. I didn't have chance to run, but I did have my regular breakfast - milk (1%, I am not sure I mentioned that before) and cereal.

My boss got me lunch - 6" sub with salami, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, black olive and light mayo on wheat bread. After lunch we got into the car and John (our VP of marketing, among other hats) drove us to Groton, CT. We did a rest stop, somewhere in CT at McDonald and I had strawberry milkshake (w one of my favorite drinks when I was a teen).

When we arrived to Groton and got our rooms we rested a little bit. I went to check the fitness room and found out that it was too small and that probably in the morning all machines will be busy.

We met at 5pm to go and eat dinner - Boss treat. I would never say no for a free meal, but it is such a pleasure when it is such a good one. We drove to nearby town - Mistic. (In case you are interested, yes, this is the one where Julia Roberts was filmed in Mistic Pizza. The pizzeria is there and popular even off season). We went to eat at S&P Oyster Co. (S & P Oyster Co. is nestled in Mystic's quaint & historic shopping district next to the famous drawbridge and flagpole. Overlooking the beautiful Mystic River. Just 3 blocks from the Seaport Museum and minutes from the Mystic Aquarium and both Casinos. For more information visit:
). I don't have enough words to describe the food. For appetizer we ordered artichoke dip with chips. I don't really like artichokes, but this thing was soft and fragrant with just right amount of cheese and butter. Even cold it was delicious. For the entree I ordered lobster tail with shrimp and mesh potato. What a meal. It was made on the wood panel that gave just enough char to the meal without destroing it. If you ever in Mistic, CT visit that place.

In the evening I was watching American Idol and finishing left overs of this artichoke dip.
