Mystic Connecticut 09/20-09/21 2019

Our route from Atlantic City to Mystic Connecticut took us around New York City and across the George Washington bridge.  OMG!  The traffic and tolls!  $84 for the Rig and the Jeep.  Well, good thing we won't be going back that way!

We stayed at Seaport RV Resort which was just a short drive from the historic seaside village, the aquarium and the seaport museum.  We had a great site that afforded us satellite reception and was right across from a nice little dog park.  

On Saturday we got a "Mystic Pass" (only $53 for seniors) that allowed us to visit both the aquarium and the seaport museum.  Here are some photos:

The Beluga whales were definitely the best part of the aquarium.  Beluga is Russian for "white".  They are the size of a large dolphin and they look like they are smiling!  They train them to do tricks like dolphins as well.  Fascinating creatures!


Penguin smooch underwater!

Nemo and friends

This is a training vessel with an all iron hull.


I don't know what was up with this guy...

The Charles Morgan, last of the American Whaling fleet. Launched in 1841, they sailed it again in 2014.

A hearty Captain!


They made a house out of this tugboat.

We also checked out the Historic downtown and drawbridge.  What a lovely little village!  





We ate lunch at Mystic Pizza.  The same one from the movie.  It was very quaint and a bit crowded but we got right in at a window seat where we could watch everyone going by on Main Street.  The pizza was one of the best I have ever had!
