Connecticut is Wonderful!

Jill's Journal: Oh Connecticut, we’re only been here a day, but how we love you already! Let us count the ways:

1). You’re not New Jersey.

2). Picturesque beauty every where we turn. There doesn't seem to be an unattractive place anywhere. Even our campground is part of a 100-acre colonial farm, complete with a swimming pond, a small river, and lots of stately, old trees.

3). New England charm. We went into the town nearby to explore a little and didn’t quite expect to immediately find the small harbors and plethora of boats New England is famous for since we’re at the southernmost part of the region…but there they were! Wonderful eye candy. We stopped for lunch at an old train depot turned into a cute deli (photo!). The beach is just moments away. And the architecture is so incredibly charming.

4). Perfect, gorgeous summer weather. It’s warm and sunny during the day (but with little to no humidity!) and cool during the night. This has nothing to do with the weather, but aren’t the big girls cute helping their Daddy set up camp?

5). We’re not in New Jersey anymore. Whoops, did I say that already? I'm just so excited! We can make left-hand turns. People are friendly again. The accents don’t grate like nails on a chalkboard. Hallelujah!
