200 Miles


Photo of crocheted burger from Etsy will suffice until I upload.


We drove to Connecticut for a cheeseburger today. On a whim. It was looking to be a beeeeeautiful day for a Jeep ride, so we jumped at another chance to gallivant before My Sweets returns to the corporate jungle on Monday {me sad}. A while back he saw a special about this place on The Travel Channel. Someone somewhere said it was the best burger in the world, and that was good enough for us. I can now confirm this is true. As expected, it was a total dive in miniature form. But the little brick box with 3 booths and a counter was jam-packed with suits, townies and leisure folk all after the most mouth-watering steamed meat. Gas to and fro = $50. Brief stop at our favorite beanery across the bridge = $11. Three burgers, 2 Mug root beers + 1 jug of milk = $20. Thomas the Train "Toby" + basic stacking cups from a Toys R Us = $15. Spending the day with my lovelies = priceless.
