State Parks November 2019 weekend

George has another fantasy of seeing all the state parks in Connecticut, so while we were down by the shore, we added a three more to his list of having seen. My previous post shows Bluff Points State Park. We also went to Rocky Neck State Park, which we had been to before, but worth a return on the ocean.

 Sand in toes therapy.

 An egret.

Haley Farm State Park was interesting with a large variety of stone walls.

On our way home we stopped at Gardner Lake State Park, Salem, CT. Small, but pretty. And we had a hard time finding it both old school way and new!

Our last state park for this weekend was Day Pond State Park in Colchester. 

 George was intrigued about the way these picnic tables were made.

Part Six of A Few Days Away

Here are some shots of the USS Nautilus submarine in Groton. The museum and tour of the Nautilus is actually free--imagine that. I went in the sub and I can't imagine how those servicemen can put up with working in a submarine. I would get so claustrophobic not to mention panic attacks thinking about being under the water. I don't know how they do it.

The rest of the museum has nice exhibits and a movie.

One little bonus as we were leaving, we observed this guy painting a flag pole. I give him a lot of credit too. My job is looking better.

Well, believe it or not, I think there is only one more installment of A Few Days Away. Imagine if we went for a week!
