A little bit of CA sunshine in CT



While we lived in CA we made some really great friends.
Ande and I missed each other so much she decided to come for a visit.



For her birthday her husband bought us tickets to go see Avenue Q in NY so we made a mini vacation while she was here for her vacation.



In less than 48 hours in NY we went on a boat ride to get a closer look of the Statue of Liberty and see the amazing view on observation deck of the Empire State building.



(This is a great shot of the Chrysler Building)



We also managed to make it to the Metropolitan Musuem for a couple of hours and rest in the beautiful Central Park before heading home.



NY was an incridible adventure for the both us, I'm so glad we had the opportunity to do this.




Back in CT we decided to go to the USS Nautalis Museum in Groton.
We all got a better idea of CJ's life on a submarine. Here is a picture of the Officer dining room and sleeping quaters.




Everyone had a really good time. Now that the boys are older it was also nice for the them to visit another submarine and give them a better understanding of their daddy's suroundings while he's deployed.





Maybe we have future Naval Officers in the family?
