This was an overnight trip to watch the DCI Quarterfinals at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. Left Binghamton on Thursday morning and drove straight through to the stadium. Watched the competition, which started at 2:30 and ended around 10:30. Drove as far as West Warick, Rhode Island and spent the night at a SpringHill Suites. On Friday, we went to Mystic and Noank Connecticut, stopping to do some shopping and sightseeing in Mystic, and then had lunch at Abbott's Lobster in the Rough in Noank. Headed home after that. Had thoughts of stopping to watch the Hudson Valley Renegades play, but a bad rain storm made us change our minds. This storm was as bad as the one we drove through in Erie earlier this year, but thankfully didn't last as long. Had dinner at the Smokey Bones in Scranton before completing the trip home.
