While my mom and grandma were visiting, in addition to road-tripping to Newport, Rhode Island, we road-tripped to Mystic and neighboring Stonington, Connecticut. Of the several places I’ve visited in CT, Mystic and Stonington are by far my favorite. Mystic is more of a tourist-focused-yet-charming-and-enjoyable town, and Stonington is a quiet-little-delightful coastal town.

Waiting for the sunset:
Coastal wildlife:
Ahh, salty sea breeze and a pleasant sunset. Terrific!
After watching the sunset, we made our way back to Mystic. A quaint little house in Stonington:
Back in Mystic, we grabbed some ice cream and enjoyed it along the river. Splendid trip! Can’t wait to go back!
