June 16 –  Today we headed to Connecticut.  Before we left NJ we stopped at IHOP (seans favorite) for breakfast and then made a quick stop at target for roadtrip snacks and drinks for the boys.

While traveling towards the hotel we made a quick stop in Orange,  CT. We stopped by the Pez Visitor Center.

This is the kind of museum/visitor centers that my boys prefer. It’s interactive so you can learn about Pez history and have fun at the same time. Their favorite display was where you guess the name of the Pez dispenser. At first we did chose easy level. Then we got cocky and shifted to expert. Um bad choice although we did get half correct (by accident) . My favorite part was seeing through into the factory area where we saw people packing the Pez and also putting the dispensers together.

If it’s on the route you are traveling it is definitely worth seeing. I wouldn’t drive an hour out of the way to visit.

After a quick break at our hotel, we drove to Mystic, CT to visit Mystic Pizza. It was a bit out of the way but Sean enjoyed their pizza (his favorite food) and Brian said their burgers were OK. I stuck with a salad as I know there will be days where I will not be making very healthy choices.

Tomorrow we are off to RI.

Take care y’all
