Wow - it has been so long since our last post. But this day is worth a mention! Today is Lavi's birthday. So we woke up early and headed up to Mystic, CT for some yummy food, nice beaches and beautiful shops / seaport.
Lavi especially wanted to stop at Abbott's seafood on the water. We have been there before - when Ari was about 3 months old. But it only opens at noon. So we hit up a local beach in Groton which was perfect for the kids and lucky for us we just drove right in. The area is just glorious - with beautiful houses lining the edge of the water - and tons of sailboats ready for a gorgeous day. The beach was fun but we got hungry fast (and that doesn't include me since I was doing a cleanse and was very limited in my eating). So we stopped for Lavi and the kids to chow down. The kids had a great time naming the boats in the water and seeing people speed off in the motorboats. Then we headed into Mystic. The boys fell asleep in the two minute drive - so I had an opportunity to hop out and do a little window shopping. My favorite furniture shop 'Comina' is there and I had to walk in for a new view. After that - we headed to the Seaport. The Seaport was fun - we took a boat ride 'Sabina' on a coal fired steamboat and the kids enjoyed that. It was so relaxing for the adults too. And then we walked around the seaport - checked out lighthouses - and did some fantastic boat puzzles - plus climbed aboard a few tugboats. It was a lot of walking and looking about - but the kids had a great time - and of course they topped it off with some yummy rainbow fudge. Happy Birthday Abba! We had a great day with you - hope you did too!
