Mystic, CT
Yes, this is the place where Mystic Pizza was filmed starring Cher. The shop owner probably thanks the movie creator since a line was outside the door the day we visited. Who doesn’t want to see a movie icon? It is a cute little town on the seaside with shops, restaurants, and many boats. We decided to eat at one of the many restaurants and had a wonderful evening meal, sharing a bottle of wine and enjoying each other’s company.
The primary purpose of this visit was to see my sister and her family on Long Island. Many seasoned RV travelers advised us not to navigate the bridges and roads one has to take to get onto the Island. The bridges are narrow (not our idea of fun), and the highways need repair. After traveling on bumpy roads, we never know how we will find the interior of our 5th wheel and if items fall out of the cabinets when opened.
We arrived with our 350 dually truck in tow to get on the ferry and take an hour and a half trip to get to Orient Point on the North Shore of Long Island. A pleasant day to take a boat ride, and the route is dubbed “Lighthouse tour,” as there are about six different ones along the way. We didn’t include any pictures because, at this point, everyone must be over my lighthouse addiction.
The weekend was comprised of visits to family and friends. It was a time to catch up and enjoy the laughs getting together brings. Time flew by too quickly, and it was time to say goodbye and catch the ferry back to Connecticut.
