Where is an interesting weekend getaway in the New England States?
Depends on where you are located and how much driving you want to do. I’m in Connecticut so first: 1. Litchfield County: Lots of antiques, great (and/or cheap) restaurants and hotels, beautiful scenery. Fishing, hiking, boating (lake or river), lots of odd little museums. The Connecticut Wine Trail has several vineyards with tastings and you can buy wine on Sunday. Do not miss Hopkins Inn & Vineyard on the hill overlooking Lake Waramaug in New Preston. Go to Falls Village and ask ’em where the falls are. 2. New London County: Mystic Seaport and Aquarium. Downtown Mystic for general strolling and junk store browsing, boat trips, the world’s neatest bascule drawbridge and two, count ’em two ice cream shops. Lobsters & Steamers at Abbott’s just down the road in Noank on the river. And when you’re tired of that you can run up the Thames and blow the kid’s college fund at the Casinos. Massachusetts: 1. Cape Cod: There are lots of neat things to do on the Cape but I prefer the “ebow up” part
