Anniversary Trip to Mystic Seaport
Instead of an overnight trip this year, my husband and I decided to spend last Sunday in Mystic. We're heading out on a vacation to Acadia soon and with our anniversary falling on Memorial Day weekend we didn't want to have to fight the crowds driving anyplace too far. Mystic is about an hour an away from us and while we've taken the boys to the Mystic Seaport a time or two we had never gone by ourselves as adults. We enjoyed exploring the Nantucket Whaling museum (our trip here) and figured it would be just as much fun to explore this living history museum dedicated to preserving what life was like in an old new England seafaring town. It was a chilly, cloudy day so I added a light jacket over my sweater and wore comfy sneakers since I knew we'd be walking a lot. The museum grounds cover 19 acres right along the Mystic river and we explored just about every museum building they had open-- and we only saw a handful that were actually closed on this Sunday ...
