Connecticut Vacation
We just got back from an exciting vacation in Groton Long Point, Connecticut.
Of course, the weather looked nothing like this until Wednesday. It rained buckets constantly most of the time and was quite chilly (average 55 each day). But it was a beautiful and charming area we stayed in.
Heather's parents rented a beach house with a nice view for the week for us all to stay in. Heather's brother, Andy, graduated from the Coast Guard Academy on Wednesday (one of the beautiful days) and is now officially an Ensign, due to be out in California in about a month. There were lots of activities and picnics at the Academy, and we also ventured out on our own to explore the surrounding areas.
We took a day trip up to Plymouth, Massachusets for a field trip to Plimouth Plantation and Plymouth Rock. Eric learned so much and it was a great conclusion to his study of the Pilgrims. We all also had a great time!
We also explored the surrounding waterfront towns: Groton, Mystic, Stonington and saw lots of neat lighthouses, neighborhoods, historic homes, boats, old colleges, etc.
