Mohegian Sun is drivable if you're looking for casino

The Mashantucket Pequot Museum is there too. I found it very interesting.

You could also see if any of the minor league baseball teams are home.

Not that I know of? I know there is a Dinosaur Park in Rocky Hill. We have only been to Hartford for concerts, Disney on ice and maybe circuses years ago. We did go to some dinosaur event in Hartford maybe 10 years ago. It was some traveling fact dinosaur thing? Maybe that is what you saw?

We actually went to the state park that has a lot of dinosaur footprints. I was wrong about it being near Hartford though. Seems it’s in Hartford county but bordering New Haven (assuming the counties still existed, lol). Anyway the kids liked it and I found it fascinating from a geological perspective .

I think you're talking about the same place. Dinosaur State Park is in Rocky Hill and it's the park with a lot of dinosaur footprints. It's closer to Hartford but not terribly far from New Haven (really, not much in CT is terribly far from there.) It's a great place for kids and dinosaur enthusiasts. I was raised in CT and remember going to Dinosaur State Park for the first time about 40 years ago.

The PEZ visitor center (small museum and gift shop) is good for an hour or two, if you’re into it. Located about 10 miles from New Haven in Orange, CT.

I prefer Pepe’s since it’s closest to home-in Yonkers

What's the difference with the other pizzas?

The difference is the man was a creature of habit. The first place we tried was Pepe’s sooooo that was it for the next 10 odd years that we vacced in CT .

Me? I traveled wherever I wanted.
Him? Bring on Fl or Ct.
He was over the moon when DGD suggested WDW which started another saga in my life
