You don't have to travel far

You don't have to travel far away to feel like you've gone on vacation.  DH and I spent a few hours in Essex, CT  this past Sunday.  Wandering up and down Main Street gave us a glimpse of many stately historic homes, old commercial buildings and the Connecticut River.

 New England Today magazine even called it the "perfect small town" and a great place to visit.  

 We agree.  Here are some of the pictures we took.








We highly recommend the Griswold Inn Goods & Curiosities Shop. We always find a unique gift for ourselves or someone else. All price ranges, too.

Don't be afraid to bring your kids and dogs, just be aware that Essex is very clean and you should be prepared to pick up any messes.
