Pictures from a weekend in Connecticut with Grandma. We spent most of Saturday at the Mystic Aquarium and also visited downtown Mystic to walk across the drawbridge and have dinner. Sunday we stopped by the Submarine Force Library and Museum in Groton, CT (including the first nuclear sub, the Nautilus).
