Here are some of our favorite things to do in Connecticut, as well as some Connecticut staples.

David is a big fan of PEZ and has been collecting them off and on since High School. He gives this place 2 thumbs waaaaaaay up!

Imagine a house that has nothing but 4 rooms filled with really awesome toys. Did you just picture heaven? If so you've gotta check this place out!

These are hands down the best donuts we've ever eaten!

A great place for kids and kids-at-heart!

Do you like casinos? Well this one is only 40 miles from the hotel!

This is where we took our engagement photos. A beautiful park to go for a hike and check out some waterfalls!

If you make the trip to Devil's Hopyard State Park you've gotta eat here! David was attracted to the brightly colored building while Danielle was going gaga for cat decor literally everywhere! Oh yea and the food is good too :)

There are a lot of breweries in Connecticut. We haven't been to any of them yet but this is one David would like to check out some day!

Danielle loves the Seaport! Step back into history and learn what a colonial seaport was like!

If you're spending time at the Mystic Seaport, definitely check out the Aquarium. It's a CT staple.

A great place to walk, shop, and get something to eat! Right near Mystic Seaport.

Visit a historic submarine...a fun trip for the family.

We've never been but apparently it's been voted one of the best beaches by National Geographic!
