Trip to Connecticut

John, Brenda and Sophia made a trip down to Connecticut yesterday to continue looking at potential places to live in the Groton area.
Before heading out of Newport, we had to make a quick stop on the Naval Base to pick up some paperwork. While there, Sophia decided she would like to get her picture taken with one of the coyote decoys that are placed throughout the base. (The decoys are designed to scare off geese.)

Once in Connecticut, the we decided to stop and get a bite to eat. We chose a little restaurant in Mystic called the Pizza Grille.

Heading out to look at houses.

After eating lunch, the next stop was at the base housing office. We had set up a tour of one of the Groton military homes in an area called Dolphin Gardens. Our friend Sally joined up with us for the tour as well.

The houses in Dolphin Gardens were very nice. Though we are still planning on buying a home in Connecticut, we are not completely discounting the military housing option.

After a day of touring and driving-by houses, Sophia was ready for dinner. The family made a quick stop at Dunkin Donuts so Sophia could eat her dinner.

We then headed back to Newport.

Joe was happy when everyone made it home.
