this morning we visited the Submarine Force Museum, home of the USS Nautilus (SSN-571). this is a great FREE museum in Groton, CT and one we've visited before. as you may know, this Nautilus (there have been others) was the first nuclear submarine and it has been stationed here for more than 20 years since its decommissioning.  Arwyn really seemed to enjoy the tour of the submarine but of course playing with the navigation equipment, weapons systems, and periscopes in the museum itself were equally a big hit.
