Back in CT

Abigail was one of the readers during "Children's Sunday" this week at the Rocky Hill Congregational Church. She did a great job.


Benjamin was one of the seniors recognized that morning.

On Monday, Chloe and I had lunch at Bangkok Gardens in New Haven. Aubrey and Ben don't like exotic Asian food (!), and went for pizza slices instead.

Later that afternoon, I took Ben to see the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. It houses, among other things, Yale's copy of the Gutenburg Bible, printed in 1455. The book in the background isn't a reflection. It's the other of the two volumes.

A Trip to Pepe's Pizzeria

It was such a great night. For supper, Chloe, Benjamin, and I went to the center of the pizza universe, Frank Pepe's on Wooster Street in New Haven, CT.

As you can see, by the time I was able to take a photo the two of them had already gotten started.

After we finished off this pie, we went next door to Libby's for some of the best gelato ever. The perfect finish.

C is for Chloe

The morning after I got to Connecticut, Chloe and I drove down to New Haven for lunch at Claire's and for some shopping and just hanging out. It had been a while since I'd been back to Yale. So we spent some time just walking among the buildings.

I made Chloe stand there while I took her picture at the main entrance to the Sterling Memorial Library. Of the dozens of libraries on campus, this is the big one.
