Mystic Seaport~home of Seamen's Inne~some of the worst expensive food I've ever had~but what a super fun name! ;)

The Mystic Aquarium and Institute for Exploration. My favorites? The fruit bat cave during feeding time (watermelon) and of course, the blowfish! :) Check out more at the Mystic Aquarium website. I particularly enjoyed their PT109 display and artifacts. Maybe it is because my Grandfather was in the Navy during WWII or because both of my brothers are currently in the Navy; perhaps it was the experience of standing next to an elderly gentleman and overhearing him whisper to his wife that JFK "was truly a hero," as he wiped tears from his eyes and knowing that he likely lived through the war himself; maybe it was just the fact that I hate that my brother is out on the ship right now and I just want him to come home... whatever the reason, I found it to be a very emotional display as well.

And of course, I didn't have a cemetery from Connecticut yet and we happened upon this beautiful one in Mystic and had to grab a few shots. There were A LOT of photos, so I created a separate album for Nikki's photos (but don't worry, there are not as many photos as there were from the aquarium).
