A Tour of "Around Here" Part 3

Next stop...Noank, where you can get some great seafood and sit out by the marina and watch all the sailboats come and go. Abbott's and Costello's are about a block apart and serve up some giant lobster, scallops and crab cakes.

We checked out Abbott's (above)

...but ended up at Costello's. Matt entertained Abby with his lobster claws and we all enjoyed some delicious, fresh seafood (nice bib, mom).



Another fun spot is Olde Mistick Village, a collection of specialty shops and restaurants built around the historic area of Mystic (formerly Mistick). For the toddler among us, the best part of Olde Mistick is the ducks walking around and swimming in the ponds. In fact, Abby now says, "duck, duck" and flaps her arms as soon as we pull into the parking lot.

Marina, Mom, Abby and I visited one afternoon for some shopping and more importantly, some delicious ice cream. Abby is pointing out the giant grey goose that lives in the pond.

We visited Olde Mistick again later in the week with mom and dad for dinner at Ten Clams.

James and Abby were checking out the new baby ducks in the pond.

Abby looks like she's up to something..maybe plans to climb on the fence?!
By the way, her little seersucker "sea" outfit came from another favorite new spot Twice is Nice, a resale shop in Mystic. We got that outfit for $1!
