Next door is the Mystic Aquarium, which was very interesting. We saw penguins, seals, sharks, touched rays as they swam past, saw lots of different fish habitats, watched and electric eel. My favorite was the beluga whale. You should have heard the kids squeal and scream when they tapped on the glass and he opened his mouth:
After the aquarium, we had lunch at Mystic Pizza, "A little slice of heaven" and "the pizza that made the movie famous". Nana told me a movie was made here in 1988 with Julia Roberts and Matt Damon, maybe the first time he was on screen. I didn't even know they made movies that long ago.
After lunch we visited the Seaport Museum, which had lots of boats in the water and lots of buildings where we learned about making barrels out of oak (just like in Kentucky), boats out of wood, candles out of wax, and all the other things they had to make by hand. Poppa especially like the boats:
We toured the harbor on a steam engine boat:
