A couple things as you suggest you would enjoy
deubster's itinerary. If you stop in Mystic, take a ride out to Groton/Long Point to see more ocean and more beautiful houses before getting back on 95. And I would take Rt 15, the Merritt Parkway, which is much nicer than 95. Trucks arew not allowed and trees line the road. You can catch it after New Haven in Milford.
I think stopping in Stamford/Bridgeport may be a little early, and since you don't want anything to do with NYC driving (and I would guess the GWB and NJ Turnpike), I would get across the Tappan Zee Bridge and consider staying somewhere in New York or north Jersey off I 287 (no idea where, we always stay with friends in Westfield.) Enjoy your trip.
