Connecticut

While visiting Danny and his family for a couple of days, the rains came. That meant we tried to find things to do indoors. We went to the mall, saw a movie, and then let the kids play at a bounce barn. On our last day there, the rains finally cleared and we headed out to see the waterfront.


We went to Mystic a small whaling town made famous in a movie we have never seen. The port area was beautiful and the fudge there is amazing.

On the way back to New Haven we found a beach with sand. The weather still wasn't perfect and we were the only ones on the beach, but the kids didn't care.

They got in the water regardless of the temperature.

The waves weren't huge, but were bigger than anything near us.

The highlight was the lifeguard station. The sand was so soft and fine that it was like jumping in snow. It took a bit to get Emily to jump, but when she finally did she didn't stop.
