On Wednesday the evening weather was nice so Sue and went for a joy ride to Buttonwood Farm in Griswold, Ct. for ice cream sundaes. This place opened in 1975 and is a very busy place in the summer. Their ice cream is very good and they have a lot of different flavors. After the ice cream we took the back roads down to the quaint little town of Mystic, Ct. which is very active in the summer with tourists. We strolled the town enjoying the night air and relaxed on a bench right at the water. The Mystic River runs right through the middle of the town and a drawbridge is there to open up so that boats can pass through. The drawbridge was erected in 1920 and weighs 660 tons. Later in the evening we went to Mystic Pizza for pizza and drinks before heading home. I had an ale appropriately called "Mystic River Ale". This particular pizza house was the inspiration for the movie "Mystic Pizza" starring Julia Roberts and many of the scenes from the movie were filmed in Mystic and the surrounding area. The two "senior citizens" are of course, Sue and I as we started to walk the street. Quite honestly we hated to go home.
