We def moved much slower than we wanted to this morning. But the hotel dryer did not dry our clothes all the way and I wasn't taking them still "almost dry" (Aaron's words). So we leave the hotel about 11:30 and we miss our exit (it was unlabeled)
And now we are trying to find our way onto the N Bronx expressway. Which apparently only has one way on for like a 15 mile radius and the streets will go one way and switch ways so you can no longer enter. We literally circled the upper Bronx for about 25 minutes. After this adventure (and paying thirteen freaking dollars to go over theGeorge Washington bridge), we were like No problemo! Just 120 miles to go! Yea try FOUR HOURS bc traffic was miserable.
However, we persevered and got to mohegan sun. For those who do not know what it is, it is a massive casino. Think the Ceaser's palace of the east coast. Somehow we managed to find a $5 craps table. My first roll was pretty hot. But man this guy was rolling and he had to have rolled over 50 times. He made the table a lot of money. We should have invested in him sooner. But no worries. We both left up a little money. How often can you say that? I'll take 57 extra dollars please and thank you!
So now we go back on the road (no drinking at the casino for us so no one worry!) and drove the last 50 miles to providence, ri. What a cool little city. I've been here for the airport and the mall but never to hang out.
Shockingly, we hit the Union Brewery. Aaron has the vanilla bean porter and I had their light beer to start. We then shared a pint of their blueberry wheat beer-- delicious.
And a short little sidebar: I told Aaron he better recognize how lucky he is! Not only did the guy in NY tell me I had nice legs, some guy on my way to the bathroom told me I was really cute! Lol 😃
On our way to the next brewery, we stopped at UNO Chicago. Luckily we did. The bartender was nice. We each had a pint and then he gave us each 2 samples of beer he wanted us to just try. Then when he gave us the bill he was like "I gave you a discount bc anyone who travels like you guys sounds fun" He charged us $4.31! Needless to say he got a hefty little tip!
Finally made it to trinity brewing. We got some grub, which was mighty yummy. Their fried ravioli was sooooo amazing. But I had a pilsner and Aaron the imperial stout. Then we got a 6 sampler of the 6 beers we hadn't tried. I wasn't putting too much down at this time.
We made our way back to our hotel, which was super close. I think like two blocks walking. Called it a night and now waiting on sleeping beauty! It's the weekend of Rachel and Tim!!!!
