Our second day down in the Mystic area we went to the Mystic Seaport. Evie was the first one ready, co she waited patiently in the car eating cereal and reading (or eating) books while we finished getting ready.
When we got there Evie ended up pinned to Mommy looking like a little green starfish.
We were able to see a lot of big and old fashioned boats at the seaport.
We even got to get on and walk around most of the ships.
We even got shipwrecked on one of them.
Here is the aftermath of the shipwreck.
While there we all went on our first ride on a real steam boat.
Evie got tired of wearing her sun hat so I put it on instead.
Here are a few pictures of the lobster traps.
And here is one of the lobsters that was caught in them. It was the first time either Jen or I had ever tried lobster and the first time I'd ever heard a vegetarian say, "This part right here is really nice because it's just a big chunk of meat."
There were a variety of other interesting things to see there such as this rope yard,
this silly horse,
and a light house.
Once again Evie was the first one ready for bed, so she just played around in the back of the car while we unpacked.
We ate dinner at the picnic table inside of the mosquito net pavilion.
and Evie got to experience her first campfire and smore roasting session (though she didn't get to eat any).
And here is a bonus picture of the adorable little Evie for those who have made it to the end of this post.
