We awoke to yet another beautiful day in Darien, CT, in our hotel. Emily the event planner had a full day of fun activities planned for us all. The first stop of the day was for lunch of course, where Emily, Grandma, Hunter, and I went off to find a restaurant that Emily had researched on one of her food programs. We were on a quest in search of a restaurant called Valencia Luncheria which was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. When we arrived there, however, both of the two tables were full of people, so we decided to look elsewhere for dining options. We walked down the street and ate at The Lime Restaurant because, well… because they had an open table. The food was average, and that is all I have to say about that.
After our fun afternoon at the aquarium we headed back to the hotel to get ready for dinner. Emily’s mom arranged with Diane to get a sitter for all the kids so the grown ups could have a quiet night out. Pop Pop Colonel and Glen didn’t join us because they were able to land some tickets for the David Letterman show that night, which they were both very excited to see. After a quick pitstop at Crumbs cupcakes (for later!), Emily’s mom, Diane, Emily, and I ended up going to this really great restaurant called The Goose in downtown Darien, CT. The food was absolutely delicious and the night out was much needed. Thank you, Grandma Curly!
After dinner we returned to the Griffin house to visit a bit, enjoy some delicious s’mores, and chase fireflies before heading back to the hotel. The time went way too fast as it always does, but it was great to see the Griffin clan.
