"Daycation"Pics

[eightyeightfan1]

Today, Better-Half and I took a trip down to the Mystic Aquarium (Its where the guy that found Titanic hangs out). It was a good time and real cheap.
BUT.....
Just so happens, that on the way home, and not far off the highway was....
Connecticut Valley Railroad(or the Essex Steam Train)
Here's a few...I even brought back a couple for some people.


First...howabout a real steamroller

We had gotten there just a couple of minutes late, so we missed the train. With an hour run, and 95 degree temps, we weren't waiting.
So I took a pic of a static steam instead...

I was beat. With all the walking at the aquarium, the heat and humidity and the driving. I took a nap.
Better-Half took a pic of me sleeping.
More pics of our "daycation" soon.
