Resting in Connecticut

It was a long trip, but I spread it over two days, spending the night in a WiFi bereft hotel in Scranton on Wednesday, and arriving safely in Groton yesterday afternoon. Mary and Christy and the kids were about 4 hours behind me, so I visited the USS Nautilus and the Submarine Force Museum which I enjoyed. Historian that I am, I remember when the Nautilus made it's first ever voyage under nuclear power, and yesterday I stood on her deck. That was very cool.

I also will tell anyone listening, that GPS systems for your car are indispensable. I am sold on them. Since Christy knew the way, she loaned me their GPS, and I am buying one before we leave Groton. Huzzah!

Now I am going back out to enjoy the nice weather and the Atlantic breezes.

Gawking Tourist Moment: When I drove across the Hudson, I was amazed at its' beauty. It is something I want to see more of. I also had the privilege of seeing a Bald Eagle land in a tree along the highway as I putzed along. Just magnificent!

Back to resting.
