Nov. 12th - Another Sleeping Giant.

Yesterday we biked out to Connecticut's version of Sleeping Giant which comes in a State, not Provincial Park flavor. Sleeping Giant State Park is a 700+ foot traprock mountain which is part of the Metacomet Range. We hiked up a fun, winding trail to the tower on what is the left hip of the giant which ended up giving us amazing views of the the surrounding land and the Sound again. After coming down from the tower we decided to find food, lucky for us Quinnipiac University was having an Open House and we were able to pull some scraps in to feed us before the ride back into New Haven. Once back in New Haven we hung out for a bit before deciding to make food and play Scrabble. But later on we realized how hungry Scrabble made us and we ordered pizza (it's the East Coast why not more pizza) from a local place called Modern Apizza. We then retired to bed to watch some Parks and Recreation (if you don't know about this show go onto Hulu and check it out, Ron Swanson is the funniest TV character maybe ever written).
