The Newest Mrenna Adventure

Dinner at Apricot Pub

Tomorrow, the newest Mrenna baby, Rose, will be baptized in Connecticut.  Marty and I decided to make the trip to join in the festivities, and we have Mom and Dad along for the ride with us. They behaved beautifully on the 4 1/2 hour drive, and never asked one time, "are we almost there yet?"  At one point, Marty thought that he needed to be in charge of the heat in the backseat, but I convinced  him that my parents were capable of handling the backseat controls. 

We stopped at the Connecticut welcome center, and while we were stretching out our legs, a Ford Expedition Limousine pulled into the parking lot.  The doors opened and about a dozen young men and women came popping out of the door and headed to the facilities.  Just about the same time, my dad was heading down the walk, and he couldn't resist starting up a conversation with the limo driver.  The driver was having a grand time answering all of Dad's questions.  Suddenly, I heard the driver ask my dad if he wanted  to take it for a drive.  Marty and I exchanged worried glances, but Dad decided to decline the offer.  Thank goodness for that, because Marty and I didn't know we'd be explaining to Mom just what happened to Dad if he suddenly disappeared in a limo!

We rolled into our hotel around 4:00 this afternoon, and we headed into town where we enjoyed a marvelous dinner at Apricot's Pub.  All of our dinners were fabulous, and the owner was happy to take a photo of all of us around the table.  So far, we're having a grand time and we're certainly looking forward to the festivities tomorrow!
