We made trips to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ussnautilus.org\/\">Submarine Force Museum<\/a> and rode the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.essexsteamtrain.com\/\">Essex Steam Train<\/a>, both of which are local attractions. We also played a lot of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysofwonder.com\/tickettoride\/en\/\">Ticket to Ride<\/a>, a neat boardgame that requires players to complete routes between cities on a map. As all to often happens though, it seems like they had to turn around and head back to Indiana almost as soon as they arrived. It was a great visit, and I hope I can see them again soon! Here is a selection of photos from the weekend:<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-70 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon
