For the third year in a row, Bob, Patty, and I visited Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, CT. In addition, Amy Gould, Patty's close friend joined us for the second year in a row. We started off with lunch at California Pizza Kitchen in the Foxwoods complex. We had some difficulty finding it. The interactive directory decided not to "co-operate."
Once we found the restaurant, I had a mushroom and spinach flatbread that was delicious. The other participants half salads which were big enough for dinner, let alone lunch. They were priced if I were eating at Perkins or IHOP. I sampled Patty's Waldorf salad and Bob's Chinese Chicken salad. Both salads were tasty.
After lunch, the men and the women separated for each gaming room. We visited the Great Cedar and Fox Tower Casinos. Our beloved Rainmaker Casino was closed due to "lack of customers." We won a little. We gave most of it back. It was fun, though.
After Foxwoods, we came back home. Amy went back to her house. Dan had a conference call at 5:00 PM, so we relaxed. Eventually, we dined at Ninety-Nine Restaurant in Fitchburg. I was going to have steak from the $9.99 menu, but the lemon caper swordfish appealed to me. It met my expectations. The rest of the group enjoyed their meals, too. I guess that I should take notes on their meals, too.
After dinner, we went to Sears at Mall at Whitney Field, so Patty could exchange a gift for one of Amy Gould's granddaughters. Bob and I took a brief look in Sears, while Dan stayed in the car. Somehow, we made it out of the store before it closed for the night. We came home and relaxed while eating ice cream.
This day was quite enjoyable. I have to acknowledge Amy Gould for bringing the Jumble App to our attention. Bob enjoyed playing it on Amy's cell phone so much, it is on his cell phone and Kindle. It's fun, but not when I am trying to look out the window to and from Foxwoods.
By the way, there is renewed hope for visiting Mohegan Sun. Amy Gould has never been there. Patty had dismissed it as we were leaving The Old Timer Restaurant in Clinton on June 29, but she changed her mind by July 1st. Twin Rivers in Lincoln, RI could be fun, too. If I make it to either casino, it will be reported here.
The conclusion of this trip is coming soon!
