Stonington, CT.

Whenever we visit Mystic, we always make time to spend a few hours in Stonington.
5 minutes east of Mystic,
Stonington is a small slice of seashore heaven.

Stonington Harbor Light erected in 1823

On this trip we decided to have breakfast in Stonington.
We knew of a "hot spot"...a place we have passed in previous years
that was always packed with people.

Noah's Restaurant - boy was that a good choice! 


I ordered an omelet and it was very good.

But I was having a small "sweet" craving so I convinced the hubs to order one pancake,
in addition to his egg platter and I said we would share it.
Sharing - big mistake - 
This was the lightest, fluffiest pancake I have ever eaten, it was amazing.
I shoulda' ordered pancakes, next time.

This is a place where the locals hang and the decor is adorable.







The lighthouse was surrounded with Allium Gladiator...


and the view of the water was amazing!

Hello, The breakfast looks yummy. I love lighthouses, I could take a trip just going from lighthouse to lighthouse. The sailboat shot is lovely. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day!

Love the stone lighthouse! Built to last for sure. Such a beautiful place, Debbie. I love the glimpses you give us of your part of the US.

Wow, what a perfect place. :-)))))

And I love, love, love an old bar. Have a cocktail, before dinner.... :-)

Except, it being CT, they *HAD* to have CNN on the tv. :-(((( Nope, no cocktails there, for me. >,-))))

And again, how wise of you, to go there, before full tourist season. To enjoy everything, to the full.

A wonderful choice of where to have your breakfast. You can just tell it would have superb food from the way everything looks when you walk in!
Hmmmmm, offering to share a sweet - and your dear hubs fell for that!! lol! You can obviously beguile (in a nice way) Debbie ;D)
I see you found the purple allium... well done, it's lovely.

Usually the packed places are the best, those pancakes do look good :) I do like thick pancakes. The flowers are gorgeous and I love sitting and watching boats or people having fun in the water :)

The view of the water is amazing and you captured it well. Noah's Restaurant looks like a great one. I do find that where the locals go the food is usually very good. I haven't had pancakes for a while and now my mouth is watering. The Allium Gladiator is gorgeous and now I know it's name. I saw some other other day and wondered what they were. Blessings and hugs~
