Grandma's niece lives in Stonington, CT and we thought it would be fun to pay her a visit. James unfortunately had to work so he stayed at home with Cisco. It was Hayley's first road trip and she did great. If we weren't stopped to feed her, then she was sleeping!
After traveling for the day we took it easy, caught up with Ruth and dinner. The second day we explored the town of Stonington, its a quaint town, not touristy and beautiful. We hit the park, right next to the water, grabbed lunch at a little café and spent the afternoon playing in the sand and water. Somehow the boys still had energy, and played outside in Ruth's garden rolling down banks and jumping off tree trunks.
Our third day we were heading home but not until the evening so it gave us the whole day to fit in a few more fun activities. We headed over to Mystic and while there is a ton to do there we skipped all the attractions and had a quieter day. We took the boys to an ice cream shop that sat next to the town drawbridge, great view and best ice cream I've had. The boys ran off some energy at a playground and we ended the day by taking a walk next to the water and got to see the drawbridge go up. The boys were fascinated and I'm so glad it worked out that they got to see that.
We really had the best time and are planning on heading back this summer, with James in tow.
