Great lobster in Noank, CT at Abbott's Lobster in the Rough. There are also the casinos in Uncasville, CT-Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. Don't forget Baltimore's Inner Harbor and Ft. McHenry in MD. For the BEST crabcakes in MD go to the Timbuktu Restaurant in Hanover. It's just a hop, skip and a jump from the Inner Harbor. Enjoy your trip!

We found a website about it. We have to go early in the morning to get a wristband to gain entrance to the Half Shell that evening to hear the Pops. We want to check to see if DD and I can get wristbands for M&D or if they have to go early also. This one is pretty much a "gotta do" on the list since it's a request by Dad.
White House tour is request by DD, so working on that one also!

Everyone is bringing up so many great ideas. We will only be able to fit a few in this short trip. I'm going to print this all off and put it in a file for my retirement trips! My husband wants to take a very long road trip.

Booklady, The Pops trek may be a real difficult and long day but it's possible that it may be the experience of a lifetime. I know I get chills watching it on TV. What would it be like to be there in person. If that is your Dad's request you might want to make that your top priority and forgo the other stuff to save your energy for the big one.
