#131: Mystic Seaport (Page 594; 2nd Ed pg 743)

August 11, 2012:  Located on the water in Southeastern Connecticut, Mystic Seaport is a beautiful area, especially in the summer time.

Mystic is home to America's leading maritime museum.  Starting at the Visitor Center, you can purchase tickets and pick up a pamphlet full of that day's activities, which includes everything from climbing aboard the world's last wooden whaleship to taking horse and carriage rides or renting sailboats and rowboats.


And no trip to Mystic is complete without eating at Mystic Pizza!  Mystic Pizza, starring Julia Roberts was based on this restaurant and filmed in this town.  We certainly enjoyed our "little slice of heaven!"

Verdict:  I loved Mystic.  If I had to say yes or no, I would probably go with a No, you don't HAVE to see this place before you die.  But if you ever find yourself in Connecticut, I HIGHLY recommend it!
