Memorial Day

Memorial day was a fantastic day full of fun for our family.  We decided to spend this special day getting to know CT a little better.  First, we visited a lighthouse about a half hour away in Bridgeport.  There was a rock wall leading out to it, which made the whole experience even better.

We played out by the lighthouse for a while, throwing rocks and enjoying the sunshine.

After the lighthouse we went to the Bridgeport boardwalk to visit replicas of the Nina and Pinta.

Finally, it was was time to eat.  We drove further north to New Haven to try out CT's famous pizza.  We grabbed a couple pizzas and headed to a nearby park to eat (we didn't feel like waiting in line for the hours it would take to get a table, plus, let's be honest who wants to eat out with 4 kids).

How cute it this!

Jaxon spent most the time chasing the birds around the park.  He could get pretty close because they were looking for food.

And then, becasue we hadn't done enough, we drove around Yale campus and stopped to spend some time at the Peabody Museum.

We drove home tired and happy.
