A day away...





This weekend we decided to surprise daddy and go away for Fri/Saturday. It was an "adventure" and Little Man would often question, "what are we doin? We on an adventure".

To start with Kevin only knew we would be going away for the two days and he needed a bathing suit. As we started driving, he became confused (he thought we would be heading to Maine, not to the south). We ended up heading south and finally entered Mystic, CT! On Friday the weather was gorgeous, so we visited a lighthouse near Mystic.

Little Man was very excited to go to the beach, but once we told him we could climb the lighthouse, he couldn't wait to get up the stairs....and ladder. The rest of the afternoon was spent exploring the coastline and a fort. We then went out to dinner, yummy ice cream, and of course went swimming in the pool (the ocean was much too cold).

The next day we went to the Mystic Aquarium. This whale was quite funny, it kept opening its mouth by all of the people standing near the window, you could hear it "singing" on the other side of the glass. Little Man wasn't sure what to make of it. The cloth came along for the trip and did really well! We over packed (unsure of our plans on Saturday due to the weather), but had plenty of options available!
