A small but charming town, Mystic (home to Mystic Pizza) is one of those East Coast staples you should spend some time in at least once. Between the Mystic Seaport museum and the local aquarium, your kids will be enthralled with the fascinating life that lurks in the sea. Once you're done there, pop into the Alice in the Village Tea Room for a sweet treat at tea time — or nap time for the kiddos!
