So we came across one of the indoor (and air-conditioned!) exhibits that showed some art work as well as model ships. I'm impressed by the detail that goes into such tiny replicas! Teeny tiny masts and replica ropes are just as fragile as can be. Of course they then set those next to larger than life busts of famous people, whose names I have since forgotten (I am terrible!). I definitely enjoyed looking at the maritime art and all the little bits and bobs they had in that museum building.

My Grandpa had mentioned how much he loved the Mystic Seaport whenever he is up in the area so we decided to check it out. It's a (quite large, in my opinion) historic town that depicted what life was like in the past. Lots of interesting exhibits and people dressed in the clothing of yesteryear. There are several small places around by me that are similar but this one definitely took the cake. It also made for lots of great photos as it was right along the water!
