It’s Our First Anniversary!
Last week was the one-year anniversary of the first Sunday Diners blog post. Since then, we have done 47 posts and have visited some of the best places for breakfast in Fairfield County, and beyond, like Block Island RI, Westchester NY, and Lancaster, PA.
We even wrote about our trip to Italy (where the food is awesome) and went to a Mets game and checked out the Hot Dogs at Citi Field!
Most of all, Sunday Diners has been a lot of fun to do with my dad, and we have met some really great people from all over the US and even some from as far away as Japan and Australia who read the blog. We also met some other great bloggers like OMNOMCT and Dan Woog here in CT.
It’s going to be a very fun year ahead, so if you have any ideas on where we should go next, please let us know!
Thank you everyone for reading, commenting and sending e-mails!
Love and Happy Father’s Day,
Alex and his Dad
So, without any more delays… let’s get on with the show!
