NWR: Has anyone ever been to...

Old Saybrook, CT? FH and I booked there for July 4th weekend (our dating anniversary). Just wondering if anyone has been to that area and can recommend fun stuff to do?

TIA!

My mom has a house there!!!!!!

Not sure what to do really though bc we usually go to hibernate and go to the neighborhood beach......

hmmmmm... I know there's some sort of a parade for the 4th. and My bro will most likely be shooting off some CRAZY fireworks at either the beach or the house. Apparently last year, it was a sick show!!!!!

I can ask my sister (she does more of the 'touristy' stuff, whereas I'd just like to stay in)

BUT it is GORGEOUS there!!!!! and I know the outlets are right near there (exits 62 and 65 off of 95)

lmao, I was just there this weekend for a friends wedding.

um, the town is pretty small and quiet. there is a place where you can rent a motorized parasail kinda thing and fly over the li sound. I wanted to do that, but we didn't have time.

i think this is the link

um, there's also a zoo off exit 29 (i think) off the i-95.. so its on the way.

great bar about 45 min away- mcguires bar they have an indoor slide and their drinks are cheap.

thats about it.. we usually go up to see my friend. where are you staying?

thanks girls!!!

we're staying at the saybrook point inn and spa!
