Mystic

I took the boys on a short vacation over the Labor Day weekend - to Mystic, Connecticut. We actually left after Leo was let out of Kindergarten at noon on Thursday. The boys napped in the car for the drive down to Mystic. It was nice not having to deal with airplanes or a real long drive - its just under 2 hours to get there, and the Red Sox were playing an afternoon game against the Yankees that day, so I was able to relax and listen to the game on the radio while the boys slept. (The Red Sox lost, though . . .)

What a great time the three of us had. There was beautiful weather every day except Saturday morning - so we chose that day to go to the aquarium. Apparently, we weren't the only ones who had the same idea and the aquarium was mobbed. But we still had a lot of fun. We were at the Mystic Seaport all day on Friday where we went on two boat rides and spent a lot of time at the small children's museum and playing on the small model boats they have there. I just enjoyed watching them explore and learn about boats and the seaport (and tried to keep them out of trouble!) By the time Sunday rolled around we were all tired and were glad to be home.
