For the July 4th holiday week, we wanted to take a mini road trip to enjoy a quiet New England beach town. Using his excellent travel research skills, DJ found the quaint Saybrook Point Inn in Old Saybrook, CT. Located right on a marina, this super kid-friendly place boasts lovely views of the ocean, a spa, and both an outdoor and indoor pool (in case of a rainy day). It wasn't quite as close to the beach as we expected (driving distance rather than walking), but we loved hanging out at the pool and enjoying the serene view from our window.
An unexpected bonus: during the days we were there, it was Lobster Fest at Fresh Salt - the fabulous restaurant connected to the inn! AND, you could get anything from the menu through room service. AND, you could add lobster as a topping to any of their salads. A total win: we could just relax in our bummy clothes and let the toddler run free in our room while enjoying some awesome meals. Over the course of our stay, we ate so much lobster we agreed we probably would not crave it for the rest of the year. Totally a splurge, totally worth it.
