For my birthday, I took a road trip to my two favorite places in Connecticut: Mystic and Stonington.   I wanted to get dinner in Mystic and catch the sunset on my beach in Stonington.

I had penne pasta with grilled chicken, Italian sausage, and brocolini in a garlic butter sauce.   Delicious!

For several days, I was looking forward to a sunset on the coast:
