Nathan's best friend invited us down to their new town in Connecticut for his little brother's first birthday party. We took the opportunity for a road trip, and found something fun to do in the morning. Michael discovered the New England Air Museum just outside Hartford.
The New England Air Museum consists of 3 hangers full of old airplanes, helicopters and other aircraft. The boys had a great time looking at everything, and we tried to read as much as we could as we chased the boys around.
We drove around for a short nap after the museum, and then off to William's birthday party! It was at a farm, and the boys got to meet and feed all sorts of animals. Nathan was very excited to spend time with Ben and see his new town.

Thank you - looks like a fabulous holiday. The Air Museum looks to be a great one and all of you having a good time. The farm looks great too - is it a special visitor's farm or where Ben Lives? I miss seeing photos of you, Anne.
ReplyDeleteThe curse of being behind the camera - I will make sure Michael takes a few of me soon!
