More fun from Mystic! After a walk by the river we stopped at @mysticparkicecream and got some tasty treats. Wild Maine Blueberry ice cream hit the spot (but there were many tempting options, as you can see!) Can’t wait to visit again . . .
Friday night Gabe and I moseyed around the charming town of Mystic, CT. Of course we stopped for an early dinner at @mystic_pizza_official where the classic movie was filmed! Our table was crowded with Greek salad and homemade dressing; fried meatballs and sauce (a big thumbs-up from Gabe!); and a small pizza with salami, olives, and pepperoncini. All I can say is we left very full and happy! Service was super-friendly and, if you go on the early side, crowds aren’t a problem. A fun part of wedding weekend, for sure!

What a great evening! Friends, family, tradition, stories - this day had it all. So happy to celebrate Noah and Rachel. Cheers to all!
Lovely day in Mystic, CT! Gabe’s best friend’s son is getting married and we’re delighted to be here. Last night we dined at the famous Mystic Pizza and strolled along the water. So beautiful and relaxing!
