In CT

We are in CT for a few days. We had an uneventful drive to NJ on Wednesday afternoon and another uneventful trip to Mystic on Thursday. It is nice to be back in Southeaster Connecticut. It is nice place, especially this time of year when there is starting to be a little chill in the air, but the sun is still strong.

Here is Dad and O on the walkway overlooking the Mystic Drawbridge:


Yesterday we spend the day at Waterford Beach before heading to our house in New London. It was a gorgeous sunny day, O got to try out swimming in the ocean. It was a big hit once he got used to the idea.







After fun in the sun, we went to see Carla and check out the house. She was so happy to see us and O got to meet "Nona"! Carla has not changed one bit. By the time we left, we had new toys, homemade cookies, bottles of water and fresh cooked pears. Of course, all the while she was lamenting that she had nothing to give us! We miss Carla, she is a great neighbor and a wonderful lady. The house faired the storm just fine, luckily. Now if we could only find buyers...

Nora's wedding is tomorrow, then we head back to NJ for a night before making our way back home to DC. We are having a nice little vacation. It is always nice to take the time to just spend time together and see old friends.
