For a day when we didn't need to be up that early, we were. On the road by 9am and heading back to spend more time in Mystic CT. We had heard about the heat dome and the 3 H's (hot, hazy and humid) and so we left expecting a warm day. The morning drive was cooler than expected and quite hazy/foggy. By the time we reached Mystic, the fog was heavy and we decided to head to Newport first and come back to Mystic.
We continued on the additional hour into Rhode Island and eventually across the bridge to Jamestown and then into Newport. Once we were onto America's Cup Ave we started to see the character and affluence that we expected.
As we drive past a couple of yacht clubs you could see the there was old money in town. Beautiful quaint town and very foggy.
We went to the Museum of Yachting
in Fort Adams and saw an exhibit on the Coronet, the America's Cup history in Newport and some beautiful old boats.
We returned to Mystic for lunch and as we drove west the foggy was beginning to disperse. By the time we got to Mystic it was warm and sunny.
We enjoyed lunch on the patio and explored a little before getting back into the car and the A/C. We ordered in and had a very quiet evening. We did comtemplate packing but that will be an adventure for tomorrow. Good night from an air conditioned East Windsor!
