Just wasting time and eating ice-cream in Mystic.

Strolling through Mystic, CT, during the holiday season felt like walking through a charming winter wonderland. The quaint shops, beautifully decorated with festive lights and garlands, created a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for exploring unique gifts and local treats. The highlight was the iconic Mystic River Bascule Bridge, standing majestically against the crisp winter sky, adding to the town’s magical appeal. A stop at Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream made the experience even sweeter—we enjoyed some truly delicious ice cream and a classic NY egg cream soda while taking in the scenic waterfront views. As we walked along the river, sipping our treats and admiring the twinkling decorations, we couldn’t help but appreciate the cozy, small-town charm that makes Mystic so special. Overall, we had a fantastic time soaking in the holiday spirit and scenic beauty of this historic seaside town.
