Saturday at the shore

My late in-laws used to spend August at "the shore" in Old Saybrook (apparently a more modest destination than the rich person's Cape Cod). They introduced me to the pleasure of the delightful, buttery lobster roll (sandwich). With their passing, the August tradition has also disappeared. However, we occasionally travel to Old Saybrook to visit the old haunts and reminisce about times past. During the summer, this often includes returning to Lenny & Joe's Fish Tale in Madison for a delicious meal.

Yesterday, my son and I made the trek to the Shore and started with lunch.

Sauteed Combo

Richard enjoyed the sauteed combo plate (veggies, rice, lobster, scallops, shrimp) while I stuck with the traditional buttered lobster roll. Both of us also had corn-on-the-cob.

After lunch, we continued along the Post Road (Rt 1) to Old Saybrook where we stopped to play mini-golf at Saybrook Point.

It was a close game but Richard graciously let his old man win.

It was a glorious sunny day that we capped with some ice cream at DQ when we got  closer to home. It was a nice time spent together.
