After, we went out to lunch at the Sea Swirl. This roadside stand was once a Carvel ice cream shop and now serves up fried seafood to order, grill fare of the burgers and dogs variety, and soft serve ice cream.
We both had cod sandwiches that came straight out of Stonington Harbor, hot and crunchy, served on a soft potato roll with lettuce and tartar sauce. The white board out front listed the day's specials as well an announcement for the birth of the owner's granddaughter. The place has been written up by the New York Times and the Boston Globe and is a local gem. Come by and grab a seat at the picnic tables soon!
When I went to Mystic Aquarium, I was SHOCKED at how expensive it is! Matthew and I went on a date there when he came to CT, and I mean, I guess I can imagine that it costs a lot to take care of those animals, but it was still kind of mind boggling when I imagined bringing a family of four!
ReplyDeleteIt is wildly expensive, but my dad's company donated $1 million towards a new building and as his family member I got in free. Love the free!
