Boats, Cars and Sports!

We've had some very exciting days over the past couple of days. We visited the Mystic Seaport Museum on Monday morning. We were able to look through the only surviving wooden whaling boat (and yes Perri managed to climb the three flights of stairs as well as bump her head on the roof in the downstairs quarters!) After which we were able to have lunch in the oldest continuous running Inn - called the Griswolds, and no we didn't see anyone that resembled Chevy Chase. Afterwhich we were treated to a ride on the Connecticut River. It was very cold but absolutely beautiful. On Tuesday we visited the Connecticut Police Academy. Sophie was in absolute heaven! We witnessed recruits training in on the skid pad in the cars, doing some combat training and visited their shooting range. For all of those sports fans it's time to wipe that green colour off your face. We visited ESPN Studios and had a fantastic tour, with some very nice views! We even managed to get a wink from one of the NFL show presenters! And yes we saw the set where they shoot the Nascar show!
Wednesday saw us visiting the capital theatre where we had a tour, visiting the senate room and the memorial to the fallen soldiers and many more.
We were treated to a lovely dinner at Modern Pizza tonight before we will be rolling into bed for another busy day in our vocational visits tomorrow.

Along with our presentations
