We met through the Williams-Mystic Program which calls Mystic Seaport Museum home. Of all the places in Connecticut, this one matters the most to us and we hope you enjoy it if you visit!
This aquarium is known for being a great place to take young kids. A childhood favorite of Bridget's family, it features several fantastic and curious Beluga whales and a sea lion show.
If you are looking for an ice cream experience in downtown Mystic, then this is your place. However, the other ice cream places on this list are hidden gems so really you cannot go wrong with ice cream in Mystic.
Bridget's order: chocolate vanilla twist soft serve with chocolate sprinkles. Audra's order: vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinkles.
The best soup and salad in Mystic can be found here. Audra has tons of memories from her Williams-Mystic days at Mystic Soup. It is such a treat!
Put simply, this vineyard has a fantastic vibe and the wine is amazing. We love to walk all the way to the back of the property and sit by the river with our wine. It is so lovely!
A great place to go on a quiet walk right outside of Mystic. It is so beautiful and calm in the summer and early fall.
If you are looking for some fresh fruit, veggies, or flowers, this is the place for you!
A fantastic place near the water to take kids for an adventure :)
If you are looking to adventure a bit outside of Mystic, Watch Hill is the place for you. Taylor Swift's Rhode Island mansion is here (the star of the show in the song Last Great American Dynasty) and you can adventure to the light house and Napatree Beach. We have spent many a sunset here and would recommend a visit to anyone!
A beautiful place for a summer hike that also features recovering raptors and a kid friendly nature center.
This is the brewery in our neighborhood, Fox Point, and we love it so much. They have great beer and food too!
This is a newer bakery in Mt. Hope that we love. They have awesome scones and coffee.
If you are looking for a restaurant that has a great vibe, yummy food, and many alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink options this is the place for you!
Our favorite little Irish pub. You have to try the potatoe cakes!
If you are looking for a walk, this bike path is perfect!
A perfect place to take the kids.
Especially great on Saturday mornings for the farmer's market.
This park is in our neighborhood and we love walking through it and having picnic's in it with our friends.
Bridget's dad, Jeff, absolutely loves this little brewery on Aquidneck island.
Our favorite island coffee shop. If you go, you have to get the egg sandwhich on a bolo roll!
An iconic Newport must do. It is such a beautiful walk for those of all ages!
The Hall Family's favorite Newport beach. Beware of red tide!
A perfect place to explore all the Newport shops and restaurants.
