Mystic and beyond...

After check out, we headed to Mystic, Connecticut. On our way, we stopped at the beach in Niantic. It was a gorgeous day. Mark found "perfect skipping rocks" and perfected his skip while I searched for shells.

The seaport at Mystic was awesome. The city has preserved the original town of Mystic which was a ship building community. We watched as the preservationists worked on restoring a clipper ship from the 1800's, toured several ships, watched someone demonstrate how they climbed the rigging to mend sails (scary) and ventured into shops and workshops that show how and what people did in a seaport city at the turn of the century.

After Mystic, it was time to find our way to Falmouth. Our B&B is quaint. It was built in the 1850's. I'm writing this while having breakfast in bed and watching the boats through the window. Here is the view at sunset from our private balcony.

We are going to get dressed and find a place to buy sweatshirts...it's a bit overcast and chilly out today. Then, we are taking a ferry to Martha's Vineyard. We're renting bikes to tour the island.


For the girls:

Chloe-belle, Little Muffin, we love you! Have a good day at school today.
Love, Mommy and Daddy
