And

It was a bit of whirlwind weekend, one of Sean's close friends got married, so we were at the rehearsal dinner on Friday night, which was at BAR in New Haven, and I finally got to sample their famous mashed potato pizza. The wedding was on Saturday, which was beautiful and so much fun.

In between those events I also went to the grand opening celebration of the Q Bridge. Anyone in the New Haven area of Connecticut knows this is a big deal. Anyone else in the world (or even in just a different part of the state) would probably think a bridge opening celebration of any magnitude would be ridiculous.

The Quinnipiac Bridge, or as it is now formally been renamed, the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge has been under construction since 2001, the idea that it would ever actually be complete seemed so impossible. When I heard that the city was having a dedication and inviting anyone who wanted to walk across the bridge, I just felt it was something I really wanted to do. A once in a life time chance, because any other situation where I'd be on that bridge and not in a car I suspect I'd be dead.

They had food trucks and music and I had an amazing grilled cheese from the Caseus Cheese Truck, got a few photos, though not with my camera because not only did I forget to charge the battery, but I also forget to take my memory card out of my computer (the fates were against me), and then I wanted to get the heck off the bridge, because it is still a highway and it was immensely hot there!
