We headed north over the weekend to Mystic, Ct. The weather cooperated Saturday and was beautiful on Sunday!
Our first stop was the Mystic Aquarium. Beluga whales, sea lions, sting ray touch tanks and more! The kids loved it.
True to character, Maeve has found her latest future occupation - Beluga Whale Trainer Extraordinaire! The girl has plans - big plans.
Myles seems content to enjoy the marine life from a healthy distance. Oh, that smile!
While Eamon and I watched from a safe perch, our M&Ms fearlessly touched, even pet, the African Millipede. Myles wondered what was moving around on its back. Oh, no worries, just mites. Apparently, not the type to come home as a souvenir.
After a nice dinner, we ducked in for an early night. The kids loved staying in our first class accommodations - HoJo, Mystic style!
Then a bright start for the seaport. Beautiful views of the Mystic River were the backdrop of our day. Eamon strolled peacefully enjoying the scenery.
Maeve found her pleasure craft of choice.
Myles found his! He comes from the school of Bigger is Better!
And, I found mine.
We played.
And, built toy boats. Myles was open to Daddy's input for general design and craftsmanship.
While Maeve opted to create solo.

It was fun to be away, no beds to make or meals to prepare. The fun memories made are certainly number 131 on my Gift List.

Sounds like a good time was had by all! Looks like you didn't have any crowds, either! I'll have to remember that...FALL...not summer! =)
