Yale (New Haven) Day Trip

 

These pics are all out of order but I'm not going to fix them. ;) 

We took a day trip to New Haven, Connecticut in August. We wanted to see Yale and it was only a 2 hour drive and the buildings were beautiful. A storm happened a few days before and so a lot of trees were down but it was nice to walk around. There were NO Crowds. We ate at the most delicious pizza at this cute shop downtown. It was our first time eating INSIDE a restaurant as a family in months! We went to a playground for a few minutes but it was REALLY hot and the park wasn't great. We finished the day with some AMAZING ice cream (toasted coconut almond ice cream!) from a dairy ice cream shop downtown. We were thankful for the day away from our normal routine. 

Melanie wants to study architecture so it was fun looking at buildings. There were so many unique and beautiful details in the Yale buildings. We've been to Princeton a few years ago so it was cool to see another Ivy League. I was looking at Yale and thinking of Rory from Gilmore Girls. :)
