And, ours involved razor clam steaks (chewy!) rather than lobster.<BR/><BR/>Looks like a great trip!

This was about six years ago. Things were an awful mess, and both of us were using canes (Mom's back and I was getting over my broken leg). So it's good to know it's gotten better. There was a little lobster shack up the road you drive down to the harbor that we got lunch at.

If I had, I'd have known to look for the stuff with the "Donated by Tom's Mommy" plaques. :)<BR/><BR/>That's actually a very cool connection.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648438549121320566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745748859173296736.post-59918043883762396782008-05-26T14:17:00.000-04:002008-05-26T14:17:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745748859173296736.post-59745751387277180792008-05-26T10:53:00.000-04:002008-05-26T10:53:00.000-04:00Nathan, that sounds like a fabulous trip.

My Mom came up from Texas to donate some family stuff to the museum, and we were treated like royalty. I've been there a number of times, both with friends and by myself. There's a fudge shop in the tourist shop that I regularly stop at, and, believe it or not, Mystic Pizza makes a really good pizza.<BR/><BR/>The family stuff Mom donated related to our ancestor who was a shipbuilder in the Mystic area around the late 1700s. He built the ship that Nathaniel Palmer was sailing when he discovered Antarctica around 1820. It was a 47' sloop (single mast) named "Hero". Can you imagine sailing a single-masted ship from Connecticut to Antarctica when nobody even knew it was there?<BR/><BR/>I don't know if John will forgive you for being in his back yard without notice, but I will. It would be great to meet you sometime, but that is enough of an excuse to make another trip sometime.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the extended post!Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273212686600552771noreply@blogger.com
