Hello everyone and welcome back to CloudMom! We’re winding up summer with some more touring in Northeast, CT, where I grew up.

If you’re ever up in the North East, consider Mystic , Connecticut, a historic town that offers a lot of fun activities for kids. Playing auntie to my niece and nephews this week, I’m on the hunt for fun things to do in Connecticut that are within an hour of my Mom’s house. Our first stop became Mystic Seaport. Having grown up in this area, I can’t believe I waited this long to do a proper visit!

The Seaport offer a maritime and whaling museum and so much more! Four historic boats anchored at the harbor are ready to be toured, and you can take a boat ride around the coastline. The village is filled with small shops filled with 19th century’s memorabilia where you can visit and observe what life was like 150 years ago, when Mystic figured as a prominent sea-faring town during the height of the whaling industry. Staff members dressed in period costume tell your kids about life in the day. Quite the history lesson!

The historic boats sit atop the deep blue waters, reminding you how truly spectacular this part of the world remains. ‘ If you’re considering a visit to the North East or New England, put Mystic, CT on your short list.

Thanks so much for reading and check back in this week for some more fun content.

Love,

Melissa
