Mystic, CT Skywatch Friday

Howdee all,

On a sunny day last week we took a drive to downtown Mystic, Ct.

Just a short ten minute drive from Mom and Dads home.

It was a beautifully warm sunny day with amazing puffy clouds.Mystic _20090703_007

    Beautiful, Dawn. Nothing like a tall ship to be a great foreground for the sky.

    I've been in love with Mystic ever since I saw "Mystic Pizza." Looks like such a lovely little town. Nice photographs.

    I think I see what you mean Dawn, am i right in thinking instead of the RT@tweetmeme it comes up with RT@ourusername? if that is the case then I sure yould love the code but am unsure of where to put it? I am assuming that I put the code in the widget on my blog? thanks for your comment matey!

    Isn't that where the movie Mystic Pizza was shot w/ Julia Roberts?

    It looks really nice there!

    Happy Sky Watch Friday & Have a wonderful weekend!

    The Tall Ships have such an old world look, they are so appealing.

    You showed beautiful places in Mystic. But where is the restaurant from the movie, Mystic Pizza? Was there really a restaurant?

    The clouds were amazing last week-end, weren't they? I too took some interesting cloud pictures as they were perfect for photographing.

    I've never been to Mystic. I'll bet it's a wonderful seaport to explore! Beautiful photos!

    Would LOVE to see more of that place! I remember seeing it on something on HGTV once--I was intrigued by it then.

    Will have to rent the movie. Of course, if you want to go back and give us more....

    Beautiful pictures!

    Thank you each and everyone for commenting..
    Mystic pizza was about themed around Mystic..though not really what mystic is all about. There is a Mystic pizza..but to my knowledge it is not the one in the movie.

    Mystic is a cute little seaport town..one that I had always dreamt about living in. Quite expenseive these days.

    I would highly recommend a visit to this seaport town.
    Give me a holler and I can suggest some nice places to eat.
