- Connecticut: One Day in Mystic, CT - Travel Vlog | What to Do, See, & Eat!
Welcome to Connecticut (state 48/50)! For our time in the Constitution State we spent the day exploring the historic coastal village of Mystic! Known for its quintessential New England charm, as well as being home to two of Connecticut's most visited attractions (the Mystic Seaport and the Mystic Aquarium), Mystic is the kind of place that you expect to stumble into the filming of a Hallmark movie at any moment! Unfortunately, we didn’t witness your mom’s new favorite Christmas movie being filmed or get to visit the famous Mystic Seaport during our visit (it was closed), but we were able to experience the Mystic Aquarium, take a stroll along the adorable Main Street, take in some incredible sunset views along the Mystic River, and enjoy some delicious seafood before calling it a day. We hope you enjoyed following along, and remember to check out our “One Day in Mystic” itinerary for help planning your visit! www.adventuresofmattandnat.co...

== About Us ==
We’re Matt and Nat, a part time travel couple based out of Nashville, TN. Like everyone else, 2020 turned our world upside down. With more time on our hands than ever and multiple international trips canceled, we were left wondering what our 2021 travel plans would look like.
What we realized is that we wanted to see more of our own beautiful country, so we decided to set out on our biggest adventure yet… to see all 50 states in a year!
This channel is about all things travel & adventure. From vlogs, to tips & tricks, to crazy travel stories, the best foods, as well as product & service reviews, & soo much more.
So please make sure you SUBSCRIBE (it really helps us out) to follow along on this crazy adventure. :)
I live in CT and it's so interesting to see people who travel here and their perspective . Great video.
Thanks for watching!😊
We love Mystic we visit often …glad you were able to meet Juno my favorite Beluga …he’s such a flirt ❤️
i was born and raised in mystic and still live here. i randomly decided to look up mystic ct in the search bar to see what came up and this was a fun watch (:
Ah. My hometown. I'm glad you enjoyed it and your video gave me a fresh appreciation for Mystic.
Stonington/Mystic native here….Mystic Seaport is a wonderful day trip…even still for this old New Englander 😃. Thanks for visiting our little village!
Ahh I hate we missed it! We can’t wait to come back and visit it! 🎉 Such a beautiful village! ❤️ Thanks so much for watching!
On this episode of Adventures of Matt & Nat, we “arf and baaahh” at the marine life….. 😂 Guys that was so funny. I almost spit out my Gatorade Zero when Matt said he heard that noise out of another end. Oh my goodness. Nat, you always add zhuzh to any situation. I actually had to look up the definition haha. Great time in Mystic. ♥️
Literally laughed out loud with the Volume joke. 😂😂 Mystic Pizza was one of my favorite movies. Love watching you guys.
I see you had fun in Connecticut. Mystic has much to offer. Please come back now that the weather is getting better. Then add the small borough of Noank, Connecticut to Mystic Village. Safe travels. Lots of blessings from all of us that live here in Connecticut
Great video! Thank you for spotlighting Mystic. It’s a great place to live, work and play.
the purple fish with buck teeth made me giggle and go "awww" out loud 🤗🐟
Can’t believe you guys are getting through the 50 states so quickly! Love the marine life and scenery
It’s crazy we’re almost finished getting all the videos out! But yes… 50 states in 50 weeks! It was a whirlwind! Lol
Mystic Pizza--not to be confused with garlic flavored cardboard which actually DOES have flavor. The best pizza in Mystic is Angie's at the corner of rte 1 and rte 27.
Correct, Tom.
we can argue best in Mystic, but I'm a huge fan of Angies too.. depending on my mood, Mangoes in the OMV is good too.. miss Pizzetta, but we are so spoiled for good food in town :)
@@MysticKnotwork many moons ago I worked at the Clark lane bee bees and we would some times eat at a really good pizza place in Waterford. Can’t remember the name.
Thank you for sharing your travel vlog of Mystic, CT! It was great to see all the different places you visited and the food you tried. It's impressive how much you were able to fit into just one day. Your video definitely gave me some ideas for places to visit if I ever find myself in Mystic. Keep up the great work!
the 'So good to see you' sign was up in 2021 :) It was sad that our 7' Shamrock for the Irish Parade hung from March 2020 and the shutdown straight through to October when we were allowed back in the state controlled bridge building to take it down...such a weird memory...
I lived right there. Awesome place.
We haven’t made it to Conn. yet but you guys did a great job of showing what to do. Thank you for sharing and great cinematic work. The Sea Lion call was hilarious…..great job guys love the video!!
Red 36 is amazing. You walked by the green I played many community concert band concerts at. Swift attended and bought kids ice cream. Fun times there. Great ice cream at that bridge the sea port it’s awesome.
You guys look like you're having a ball, thanks for the video
We really did! Thanks so much for watching!😊
It was so great to meet you both at the end of your visit with us here in Mystic. Your video is an excellent representation of the area. Continued safe travels to you both
Just discovered you guys and WOW your video's just pop as well as your personalities. Your "50 states" is perfect for us as we have recently retired and are taking regional trips. Next is the North East and Mystic will be our stop in Connecticut. Yall are taking all the hard work out of putting our trips together.
Thanks,
Lee and Kathy
The sea lions and the whale are so cute!! I love an aquarium.
I totally agree that there are so many creepy things in the sea,
Wow the colours at sunset were really beautiful. xx
thanks for visiting our hometown. One day is hard to see much of the town, but so glad you gave it a shot :)
My state! Love Mystic! Cute town but super busy in the summer. Love the Red 36! Really good food and entertainment. CT is a beautiful state!
You made this place look so beautiful and fun. I used to have the Julia Roberts movie on video, one of my favorites. Recently started watching you two and your adventures around the country. I guess I'm just an armchair traveler!
Loved this vlog!! Such a great village!!! Thanks guys!!
Awww thanks so much for watching!!! 🎉🎉 We had such a fun time in Connecticut! It’s a beautiful state!
What a great place for a getaway. Thanks so much for sharing you guys trip.Really enjoyed this film．👍👍
Thanks for watching!😊😊
I love this video. So fun. 👍🏼🤗💕 I visited Mystic, Connecticut a few years ago. It was great. I enjoyed it as well. Also, I joined your Patreon last night. I’m excited. :) 🌻🌸🌼💝
Another amazing vlog, honestly one of the best! I haven’t mentioned this before but your editing is always so spectacular. If I didn’t know better I would say it’s done by some high end Hollywood studio level experts! So not sure which of you does the editing but awesome work. Love the aquarium. God bless stay safe 🦭🥚🥓✈️🚂
I’ve lived in Mass (right next door) my entire life and have never visited Mystic…well that all changes next month…Thank you for your fun video - I’m looking forward to our first visit!
This is one of my favorite places to visit, welcome to my state of Connecticut there’s not much to do but a very quaint and fun and there’s always a lot of good food
Well this video got a seal of approval.
I still can't remember if I've been to CT.
awww thanks so much!! We had a good time! It’s a cool state!! Thanks for watching!!
As a native of CT I would recommend Mystic Seaport over Mystic Aquarium if you only have 1 day and have to choose ( though they are doable in one day if you have a car). Its very hard to get around CT without a car as public transport is inconsistent. The Norwalk Aquarium is also great and not very far from that is the Beardsley zoo. I definitely reccomend people check out the stowe and twain houses in hartford as well as the wadsworth. Kent Park is lovely. There is a lot to do in CT . The people can seem a bit stand offish but we love sharing our state. Thanks for vlogging your experience! Looking forward to checking out the rest of your journey. Doing all 50 is a goal of mine, so far I am at 31.
I live here too. This is a good summary. I would also add Lake Compounce in Bristol for that classic wooden roller coaster vibe.
good to know. I'm driving there next week from NJ ;) - Car is a must
You guys are too cute! Love your honesty about the places you visit
Aww… Thank you!! 😊 And thank you for watching!
Great video. Just subscribed. From CT here. Love Mystic!! Its even better in the summer, combined with the beaches nearby. Stonington is also nice to see and just walk around... All the best. Be well.
Hi again both , just jon from England once again :)
This place looked absolutely awesome , cool small place and I’m glad you said no the random lift 😂the food looked great … see you for state 49 wow it’s been such a great adventure for you
Both and it’s been awesome watching your best bits
Take care both 🥰
This was such a fun video and definitely makes me want to visit CT! I live close enough but have never been. Also you guys have such a beautiful connection and smiles!!
Awww Lucy! Thank you so much for watching and taking time to write such a kind comment! Mystic is a really beautiful spot! Totally recommend! Aww thank you!! 😭🥰 That is so sweet of you! 💗 - Nat
I will add it to my list! My husband has never been to an aquarium before so we've been looking around ☺️
Connecticut is great plan a visit has something to do for all seasons
If you do visit make it to East Haddam really beautiful town!! Close to Mystic as well. There are small close adorable towns near you can drive through and visit quickly! Chester, Deep River & Essex it’s a beautiful day trip!
You two are the best keep up the fantastic work. Neal.
Awww thanks so much for watching Neal & for your kind comment! Means a lot!
Years ago, my husband and I docked our boat at a marina behind the Mystic train station. We slept on the boat on weekends and whenever the train whistle would blow while we were sleeping, it startled us! In 1984 before I met my husband, he had the chance to buy either one condo next to the drawbridge in Mystic for $84,000 or two boat slips at the marina that were also $84,000 for two combined. He chose to buy the two boat slips. He sold both boat slips a few years ago and we now keep our boat in Clinton Connecticut since it is closer to home and no highway traffic jams. You are lucky to get between $10,000-$25,000 for a boat slip and the condos are now worth over a million! Hind sight is 20/20
Great little town. They only scratched the surface. Good tip about avoiding eating at Mystic Pizza. Replica of the Mayflower is not usually in Mystic but in Plymouth MA. It was just in Mystic for repairs. But there are some good exhibits at Mystic Seaport.
This is my backyard! The Seaport is a must do, sorry it was closed. And dinner outside at Jealous Monk around the fire is another must!
When you said it was a village, I had to look up the population. There is so much there for a town of only 4000 people!! Nothing like a 4k village around here! Looks like such a beautiful place! Did you get your boots for Christmas, Matt? Great upload as always guys!
Welcome to Mystic, CT ❣️
I live 20 minutes from the aquarium and it is very expensive! I’m glad you had fun in our state!
Like every kid who grew up in eastern CT went there in elementary school for a field trip and still talk about it today
This is great! We live in Mystic and just did one of our first Vlogs in our hometown as we get ready to take our cross country trip. You’ve gained a sub!
I did enjoy watching this video, and I think you both are the best couple exploring together. Keep it up!
Aw…Thank you so much!
I’m going to mystic next week! Lol now I’m excited!
Really?!? Ahh so cool! We hope you have a blast! 🎉🎉 it’s such a cool spot!
Love Mystic great video and editing. That breakfast looked great no eggs for me but bacon and home fries. The aquarium is really nice the best one I ever seen was in Chicago close 2nd is Boston and Baltimore
Aww thanks so much George! We appreciate you & your support more than you know! Ohhh good to know! We haven’t visited a lot of aquariums but now we know which ones are the good ones! Lol 😂👌🏼 Hope the move is going well!
as a local, (I spent the day in downtown Mystic and at the village today! ) All I have too say is Why would you come here in the winter??? Mystic is AWESOME! when the weather is nice (and kids are in school)
Aww love that! We can’t wait to come back! It’s such a great Traveling to all 50 States with non remote jobs it was hard to hit all the States period but especially during nice weather months! Lol we just had to make due! But now we know which ones we absolutely want to go back to! Lol thanks so much for watching! 🎉
Well........now I want seafood by the sea and that's difficult to get when you live in Nebraska!! Loved the video and we need to check out Mystic, looks like fun.
I love this video so much 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Thank you!!🥰 And thanks for watching!😊
You guys are awesome! Keep this up!
Thank you!😊
wow this made me home sick. but great video, glad you got to experience the area. but you really should have come in the summer... they have free concerts on the boardwalk when it's nice out. it's so lively and fun. plus the ice cream shop is pretty good too
Im getting married October 15th 2022. For some reason I thought of going to Mystic for the honeymoon.We have never been there. This video was really fun and helpful. Thank you Matt and Nat.
I am binge watching all of your videos! You guys are so cute and funny! How did you decide which city in each state to visit?
You should come back to Connecticut and go to Litchfield,ct. It is so beautiful and so much to do.
Matt and Nat love ❤️ no really love love your channel from Canada 🇨🇦.
Where’s your favourite place to visit so far and also what’s you absolute fav item to eat ever anywhere !!!
I can’t wait to hear your best of the best answer lol
What a fun place!! Proud of you for touching the sharks 😱
Hello Matt and Nat, my son visited Mystic a couple of years ago and he really enjoyed it.
That’s awesome to hear! It’s a great place!!!
Why am I getting so sad that this 50 states adventure is almost over?! I know you’ll still have so much fun to share with us, but it feels like the end of an era. Lol I didn’t even know this town was a place but I DID know about the lemon and Diet Coke! I’m a Diet Pepsi drinker and lemon in Diet Coke is the only way I can tolerate it. Lol 😂 the beluga whale was so cute!!
I love aquariums I am headed to sioux falls on Thursday and I think I have everyone to go eat at Matildas then drinks at the treasury. Hopefully nothing changes.
Aquariums are awesome!! We had never seen Beluga whales or a blue lobster so that was super cool to experience! Oh yeah thats right!!! We hope you have SOOO much fun!! We can't wait to hear about your time there! Thanks so much for watching Tory!! 🎉🎉
“Whatttttt are those”! 😂😂 🦀
😂😂
Lemon and diet coke a big yes.Your food looked amazing. Been to Mystic Seaport but dont remember much except I think there was a candy store!( I was a kid ) Did the tra shop
I had no idea. It was so good! Lol 😂 the food was so good! We love fresh seafood! Oh that’s so cool you’ve been!
WOW that sunset was beautiful 😍 I saw the movie Mystic Pizza years ago, very cute movie. I wish you would've went inside, but I get it, you would feel obligated to patronage the establishment, after the nice uber driver said do not eat there 😆
Btw, we visited Baltimore and DC this Memorial Day Weekend. Definitely watched your videos on those cities. I was hoping to eat at Faidleys for the crab cakes, but we got into town too late 😫 Ate at Philips Seafood, and it was awesome. The Bartender Michelle was great, even gave me and the hubby free shots and a froze' drink 😋 Wish we had more time to visit. The paddle boats, aquarium, and the casino down the road looked like so much fun. Have to go back!
Right?!? That’s why we just stopped in our tracks and just enjoyed it! 🤣👌🏼 Yep!! You are 100% right! I did look through the windows though for free! 🤣😜 awww absolutely love to hear that! So happy yall had a great time! That sounds like so much fun and what a nice bartender! 👌🏼🎉🤣😜 Thanks for watching & for making our day with your travel stories!
The movie was not filmed in that restaurant, but in a pizza restaurant in Stonington, about 8 miles away.
Longtime Mystic resident here...the Uber driver did NOT steer you wrong. There are wayyy better places to grab food downtown or in the village. Definitely should visit in the summer when it really comes alive around here and we have all the art and music festivals.
when i visited there were continuous thunder without sound. that was so mystic.
Fun fact about mystic the olde mystick village isn’t even in mystic and the most popular breakfast/pastrie spot in mystic is sift
You guys have great videos! Love the travels. You also have some great drone shots. You’ve probably been asked before but what kind of drone do you use?
Aww thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment! We appreciate you! Matt does a great job with the drone. We have a DJI Mavic Air 2, but Matt said if he had to do it over again today he would do the Mavic 3! Hope that helps!
Yes, the DJI Mavics are great, and he does a really good job! I have a Mavic mini that we take on vacations just because it is so easy to carry around.
I also wanted to say thanks for sharing a bit of your faith on your channel. I get the impression when you say "pray for us" you really mean it. I know that you don't want to alienate any of your fans, but I appreciate your expressions of faith. I am a Christian who teaches chemistry (I know strange combo) at a small college in Missouri. I too try to share my faith from time to time in inviting and encouraging ways. Hope your adventures just get better and better!
Lemon in everything lol not only do I add it diet coke, I add it some beers as well. Love the series btw jealous 😭
Oh wow! We might have to give some of these a try sometime! Aw, thanks so much for watching and commenting!😊
My State!!! ❤️I’m in the North West corner though!
Ahhh it’s a beautiful state!!! We can’t wait to come back!
Girls looks like Adele and guy looks like Obsidian from Keep Of Kalessin
Great video!
Haha… Thanks for watching!😊

I'm local live 1 mile from Downtown Mystic love Mystic . My daughter name Mysti we named her from Mystic just with out C .

Connecticut is a great state just really expensive everything else is great.
Miss my hometown , mainly Groton but I’ve worked both Foxwoods and Mohegan sun casino …
What?? Nooo you have to eat at Mystic Pizza! It’s so good I don’t know why she said not to eat there. You missed out so bad. 😢 also Connecticut just has the best pizza all around so hope you got some somewhere!
Did you check out if there is a place that sells Mystic pizza? Lol 😅😅😆
You two are soooo cute!!
hahaha 🤣 ABSOLUTELY!! lol We had to check it out! 🍕🍕 lol
@@AdventuresofMattandNat You two are soooo funny! Should have taken that ride when offered. Lol
@@leewomack3498 hahaha That makes our day!! Yep! We definitely should have! 🤣 Lesson learned. There are actually places where you can trust everyone. Our Uber driver said "Yep, everyone here is really nice" ❤
You two are so funny and soooo cute! Can't wait for the next adventure, love ❤️ watching your super videos! 💋😍
@@leewomack3498 Thanks for making my day!!
We went to Mystic this past week, but we couldn’t find Mystic Seaport. The signs are very confusing.
good video - I ask myself why do i need to visit 50 states. ? What is your reason behind it ?
Did you stay at The Inn in Stonington?
We did not. It was a little out of our budget, but it looks beautiful!
My wife & I are enjoying your videos we have not see them all yet .... but we will get there .... when your done with the 50 states don't forget the There are 14 US Territories....Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Midway Atoll, Palmyra Atoll, Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Wake Island, Navassa Island (º¿º)
Aww thank you for watching all of our videos & for taking the time to write such a great comment! We really do appreciate it! Ahhh that’s a fantastic idea! We are part time travel couple with non remote jobs, and it may take us a little while to do all of them but it is definitely on our bucket list to do! Have you traveled to any of them?
Wow 20 minutes away is the submarine base you could have gone on one of the first nuclear subs and toured the museum! Next time!
If you liked Diet Coke with lemon: Coke Zero and Lime for the win
Did the tea shop ship?
Yep!! Absolutely! Here’s their site www.spiceandtea.com/teas.html
@@AdventuresofMattandNat thank you so much for the link
@@debschmitt761 Absolutely!!

Thanks for watching Jayne! What would you recommend doing for one day in Mystic? We always love local recommendations!
you remind me of Adele!
I’ve been getting that a lot lately! Thanks for watching!🥰
I was 2 1/2 minutes into this video and thought, OMG what a cute couple. Plus they do a professional job of producing and editing their vlogs. I've subscribed and can't wait to watch all your content. Great job Matt & Nat!
I like lemon in Coke and Pepsi Zero
mystic pizza not good specially in the summer when they get busy
Don't agree with mora I have eaten at mystic pizza and it's very good
Overpriced- welcome to the east coast. lol.
Show more of the scenery and less of you two. I mean how many selfies can one couple take?
🤣🤣🤣 it’s a travel Vlog. It’s OUR experience exploring a destination. There are other videos that are just travel guides with zero selfies. It’s ok that we aren’t for you, no need to be rude. 🤣🤷🏼♀️ Thanks for watching & Have a great day! 💗
I wasn't trying to be rude but instead point out a difference from your videos and others who are in most cases many times more successful as far as views. It may ruffle your feathers a bit but that don't make it not worth considering. You guys have a super day!! @@AdventuresofMattandNat
I want to say keep it up
Thanks so much!!😊
@@AdventuresofMattandNat welcome
