Day 30

Last day in Mystic: there was a heat advisory but it stayed overcast most of the day so we were able to get out and about a little more and enjoy an early happy hour dinner at Engine Room, another of our favorite restaurants in Mystic.

Day 29

It’s hot, but we had fun revisiting some of our favorite places in Mystic, CT and discovering what’s new since we were last here.

Our hotel is the yellow building on the left. The Mystic River drawbridge (with enormous concrete counterweights) is on the right.

Day 28

Littleton, NH to Mystic, CT, about 250 miles. Got breakfast from The Coffee Pot in Littleton and took a nice walk along the river this morning before heading out. We mainly stayed off the highway as we drove through NH, VT, NH again, MA and finally pulled in to Mystic, CT. Then we had a lovely farm dinner at Stone Acres, the farm of our favorite restaurant in Mystic.

A rainy day in Littleton NH, but we managed to have breakfast from the local diner and see a few things this morning before having lunch back at Schilling Beer Company. Caught up on work in the afternoon.
