Visit to the Nautilus

There is a submarine base about an hour and a half away, in Groton, CT.  We went up there last weekend.  They have a submarine up there that you can tour, which was awesome.  I got to see what kind of setup Mike would have as an officer on a sub.  To be honest, it made me a little nervous. I'm pretty sure living in that confined space would do wonders for my claustrophobia.  Nonetheless, it was really cool to see.  It's amazing how much they fit into each tiny space.  They also had a museum with all sorts of info about the history of submarines.  I'm sure Mike would have typed up a much better and more detailed explanation of our venture, but I guess you have to miss out on that.  Here are some pictures of us in front of the submarine (called Nautilus).




Oh, and by the way, we FINALLY got our car and got the registration taken care of, which was way more of a hassle than I could have ever imagined.  Happy that's all taken care of.  Here it is. It's an '02 Saturn SL1.  Mike and I still debate over whether it's gold or tan.  Technically, Saturn calls it gold, but I just don't quite buy it.

thats awesome! i was just giggling to myself thinking about you marveling over the storage setup on a sub. i'm pretty sure they could take tips from you-hendersons can pack so much into such tight quarters its amazing.
