Did a road trip through Connecticut on the way to Massachusetts but don't worry I made several stops to see a few things in this beautiful state!!
Hartford
Mark Twain's house is here and is where he wrote some of his best known works. Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. You can only see it by a guided tour and admission in 20 dollars for an adult!
New Haven
So if you are a Gilmore Girl fan like myself, New Haven and Yale are number 1 on your priority list. It is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen and I wish I would have gone to school here. The over 300 year old University is most impressive. Mostly when you are visiting Yale, take in all the colleges. Each one is a little different and the courtyards are the main hub of life!
Bluff Point State Park
In between New Haven and Mystic is this beautiful state park! As you can see from the photo above it's a little inlet that offers hiking, biking and fishing. We didn't go the entire way to the end of the inlet (the people I was with are not the athletic sort), but it's one of the most beautiful parks in America.
Mystic
If you have seen Mystic Pizza (you know the amazing movie with Julia Roberts) then this is also a must - see on your Connecticut list!
Firstly, there is a real place called Mystic Pizza and the pizza is delicious!
Lastly Mystic Seaport is the largest maritime museum in the U.S. and boasts the only surviving wooden whaling boat. It has a replicated seafaring town as well.
Definitely worth checking out!
