Mystic Seaport and lobsters

On Saturday we went to Mystic Seaport. We are trying to see as many different parts of Connecticut as we can. The best part was it was free! My dad informed us that the public library has a museum pass program which lets you check out free or discounted passes. We are definitely going to take advantage of it! I enjoyed the steamboat trip we took down the Mystic River and Ryan liked the whaling ship. There wasn't as much to do as we thought there would be, but we still had a good time especially since the pass saved us $37!

On Sunday we celebrated my dad's 58th birthday and had lobsters for dinner. Oddly enough the lobsters we for the triplets birthday (September 18th) and not for my dad. Apparently this is a family tradition, but I've never been there for it so can it really be a tradition without me? Furthermore, Rebecca (a triplet) lives in Maryland so she wasn't even there! The lobsters were on sale this week so we had them now instead of closer to their birthday. I actually didn't eat it since I don't eat seafood, but Ryan did. He even found some Old Bay seasoning for it and introduced Ito (my grandfather) to some Maryland culture. The raspberries in the backyard are now in season so I did enjoy eating those instead!

Ryan could never be a whaler, he doesn't fit!
