It seems that every area of the state has lovely parks for easy, relaxing interludes. Today, most of my picnics are apt to be at one of the destinations in my book "Cruising Connecticut with a Picnic Basket" as I try to keep up with any changes. And, I usually pick the time of my visit according to the seasons. For instance, when I visit Gillette Castle, I look forward to a summer picnic by the pond (covered with pink, white and fuschia water lillies) or when I feel like strolling down Main Street in Essex, I wait for a nice Spring or Fall day to picnic by the water in the park. But, I sometimes miss the Sunday picnics of years ago, when we simply packed the picnic basket, got in the car and explored different areas of the State. We were never disappointed. I hope you are doing some of that. Have fun!
