Our Fun Evening

diggin4clad · Jun 25, 2020

On Wednesday evening the weather was so nice Sue and I decided to go for a joyride to Buttonwood Farm for ice cream sundaes. The place first opened in 1975 and has been going strong ever since. After the ice cream we took the back roads down to the quaint little village of Mystic, Ct. which is very popular with tourists in the summertime. We strolled the downtown looking in the various shops and then sat by the water's edge to relax and enjoy the cool night air. After that we went to Mystic Pizza for pizza and drinks before heading home. The Mystic River runs right through the center of town where a drawbridge built in 1920 raises itself up every so often to let boats pass through. Needless to say the two "senior citizens" in the pics are Sue and I as we were getting ready to stroll along the downtown. It was so nice there we truly hated to go home.

Thank Zee.....Downtown Mystic is really nice and the weather was fantastic. We visit a few times each year.

Nice outing! My wife and I went there as part of a multi state trip several years ago. I loved the downtown area with the drawbridge. We took a boat ride up the river and passed that railroad bridge that rotates over the water. That was very cool to see too. Would like to go back. We stayed at the Whaler’s in. Lots to see in a small town!

I understand, I kinda figured that and "mostly" was just being funny :lol:

......because when I saw the pic with the grassy area I did think ......well, maybe ? :laughing:

(detectorists usually have a knack for looking at areas and thinking if it might be a good area to detect :lol:

)

The grassy area is on the property of the ice cream place and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want people digging it up. All that aside, even though we do in fact "eyeball" just about every place we see there are times when we just want to relax and enjoy our surroundings. We're both retired and our philosophy is kind of "Weekends are for detecting" :mder:

and "weekdays are for other things" :chef2:
