Day 4 of February Vacation---

I gave Christopher a choice this morning between the New England Air Museum Beardsley Zoo or Mystic Aquarium and Institute for Exploration for today’s special day trip. He let Anneli help him decide and they chose Mystic Aquarium and Institute for Exploration. They love the Beluga Whales and Penguins there! We ate an early lunch at home and trekked down to good old Mystic, CT. The trip was quiet, Anneli fell asleep and I caught Christopher “resting his eyes” for most of the trip, yet he NEVER fell asleep he says! Boys sure learn that one pretty fast!



We saw


Beluga Whales



Sea Lions

Penguins


Fish


Piranas

A Sharks Jaw and a Shark being preserved in a Jar!

Anneli's favorite orange fish (see her little fingers pointing to it!)

and The Cat in the Hat!

They climbed in tunnels.

and posed for pictures too.

After the aquarium we drove to Norwich to meet Shaun in his field trailer at Three Rivers Community College. The kids were pretty excited to see where Daddy works! He took us on a tour and then out to Friendly's for dinner!

What a great day!
