Always.

I’ve done a lot of exploring since the pandemic as well.

Tough to go wrong in this state as you can be in a scenic area within twenty minutes of every city.

Recent Faves - Rt8 to New Hartford area along the Farmington Fairfield County - Weston thru Redding into Newtown Easton I’ll do a weekly lap

PSA: Duke still sucks

Roma

Rte. 9 South to Rte. 82 connector in East Haddam. Cross the CT river on the swing bridge (Goodspeed Opera House). Follow signs for Gillette Castle, then continue past the castle down to the Ferry slip. You can go round-trip on the ferry to Chester for lunch, nice little village. Continue south on Joshuatown Road to Hamburg, then turn right onto Rte. 156 south through Old Lyme down to 95, then back up Rte. 9 North.

Congrats! Make a really nice, soothing playlist to accompany you when you drive. I usually listen to R&B

Literally any steak you get in Salisbury

Uncommon Grill is fantastic. 16 Straits makes a great burger.

Hey I was once a kid too!

Nice to finally find someone else who has a similar background.

Litchfield County nuff said

Yes I do. As someone who was once a kid, I can tell you with confidence that kids are stupid, and no amount of adult supervision will stop that. What they were doing was already illegal so changing the laws wont stop them, and if we keep trying harder to shut kids in they will just keeping new tide pod challenges to let their stupidity out.

Again it's very sad that it happened, but car crashes happen all the time whether you're 16 or 64. The only way to make them happen is to give kids more places worth going out to just be kids that give them less opportunities to get into situations like this.

Up rt80 cross over to Durham

You think an 8 year old and a 9 year old (who was riding in the trunk) being driven around by a sixteen year old, after midnight with no adults, is “being kids”?

Kids need some supervision, or this happens.

Out living life and being kids. As sad as it is accidents happen whether you're 17 or 71, and I don't think citing one example of things going wrong justifies the idea that kids shouldn't be allowed to be kids

Do the loop around Barkhamsted Reservoir and Check out Seville dam. Not much out there but a scenic drive.

Comment to save this post. OP is doing what I always want to do since the pandemic. And now I finally get a car.

Entirety of Litchfield County

I like Rt 146 through Branford and Guilford

Route 169 north from Lisbon to the Mass border is nice is summer and fall.

They had been at a mall, according to the family. My guess is Woodbury Commons in Central Valley.

Ihop has it as an entree at most locations if you're talking restaurants....

If you're willing to cook, this is terrific: https://youtu.be/CFCiUstuo8I
