After a fun day with the boys, Nana and I dropped them off with Hubby and we set off to find some mansions to drool over. We headed for Darien, a wealthy area and did see some nice houses, a hunt club and pretty scenery, but there were also a lot of houses for sale; a sign that the recession had hit the little town.
Still feeling that we hadn't seen anything that really made us drool, we headed for the waterside houses in Greenwich. There we saw a beautiful neighborhood with a plethora of rather spectacular houses with breathtaking views of the harbor and sound. We felt like we were sneaking around as we avoided the gaze of the security guards posted at some of the roads (we didn't try to go in down those) and I almost expected someone to challenge our presence there as our car was not a model that fit naturally into the scene at all.
We ended the night with a trip to Stamford for a bite to eat at SBC. Nana had her usual steak with garlic butter dressing and yummy mashed potatoes. I enjoyed the pasta with artichokes. Nana made friends with Mark..the waiter and he was wonderful at helping us match sauces and steak for Nana.
