We will enjoy ALL that Mystic and Coastal, CT has to offer…many shops and restaurants, historic ships, Olde Mistick Village, and so much more all in this re-created 19th century village.  The Mystic Seaport Museum is renowned as the United States’ largest maritime museum.  Climbing aboard the Charles W. Morgan, the world’s last surviving wooden whaleship, is a quintessential Mystic Seaport experience.  Not only can you stand on deck, but you can go below and see the crew’s quarters and the blubber room.  We will walk over the Bascule Bridge and hopefully get a chance to see it raise to let taller boats through….it is quite a sight!  Take a step back in time & experience “A Touch of Yesteryear” when we visit Franklin’s General Store.  At Mystic Aquarium, we will journey into the aquatic world where every underwater creature is more amazing than the last.  Exhibits put you in close proximity to Beluga whales, Penguins, Sea Lions, Sting Rays, Exotic Fish from Around the World and so much more.  We are off to climb aboard the Essex Steam Train to enjoy the nostalgic clickety-clack across the tracks as you enjoy the beautiful Connecticut River Valley through vistas and small towns.  Then we board the delightful riverboat cruise across the beautiful Connecticut River Valley.  This is a trip you won’t want to miss!
