Connecticut Coast

The government has this wonderful rule that as long as it doesn't cost the country any extra money, then an employee's family can join them on a business trip.

Todd had to go to Connecticut, and we went with him. We enjoyed 3 beautiful days in Old Saybrook. We walked around the town quite a bit, and enjoyed the quaint main street. Ethan and Maya both enjoyed seeing all the water.

Ethan was also enthralled with watching some men fish from the side of the river. He asked all sorts of questions and kept trying to get closer to look. I had to keep reminding him to back up so he wouldn't get a hook in the ear while they cast their lines. It was a bit of an education for him. He'll definitely be wanting Todd to take him fishing.

Apparently it was an early location for a ferry that went to Long Island. There was a small park that gave a little info on that history, but the need for a restroom quickly ended that visit as well as finding out more of the story.

Old Saybrook was also close to the spot where Yale started. Yes, the Yale. There were some commemorative stones there, ironically in the middle of a graveyard, where some remnants were left to rest. Obviously, Yale has since been moved.
