Lisa loves animals and has dogs, rats, cats, guinea pigs, and snakes. She is passionate about animal rescue and live music - traveling across the country to see a favorite band is a pretty regular occurrence! Being out hiking in the woods enjoying the scenery with her beloved dogs is another favorite hobby, and also checking out the Pokemon Go scene in whatever city she happens to be in at any given time (coffee and dog leash in hand).

Any fan of Jurassic Park has daydreamed about a world where dinosaurs still roamed. Over 200 million years ago, Connecticut was home to many species. (Did you know Dilophosaurus is our official state dinosaur?) There are several spots to still see dinosaurs in Connecticut, albeit ones that aren’t alive. The Dinosaur Place in Oakdale has a great splash pad and tons of life-sized models. If you’ve visited there and are still looking for even more dinos, check out Mystic Aquarium in Mystic!
