Connecticut places you in a time warp where both old and new intertwine. It’s not uncommon to find grand homes, such as the Old State House, and today’s huge mansions within a short drive of each other. Although it has a long history it is a state that continues to strive towards the future and it’s a lot of fun to explore it all.
The Atlantic Coast, Connecticut River, rolling farmlands and amazing foliage provide a great escape. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail stretches over 2,000 miles starting in Georgia and ending in Maine. The portion that rests in Connecticut is over 50 miles long and it covers some of the best scenery this state has to offer. Somehow though even the coast is connected to Connecticut’s wealth. Fairfield County is one of the wealthiest counties across the nation. Connecticut also knows how to put on a great party. The Stamford Balloon Parade, held in November, draws more than 200,000 people. You’ll absolutely love seeing the skies get filled with all the wonderful colors and shapes.
Feel the need for some action? Welcome to the casinos of Connecticut. The Mohegan Sun, located in Uncasville, is one of the largest casinos around the globe and gives you so much gaming space you’ll need Walkie Talkies to communicate with your friends. Where would you find the largest casino? At nearby Foxwoods Casino, which has an amazing selection of games to keep you busy for a long time. It’s also the place to go watch a live boxing match. Forget Walkie Talkies. You’ll need a GPS tracking system to find your friends here.
A getaway in Connecticut will take you back to America’s earliest beginnings and show you how far it’s come since then.
