| Covered Bridges of Connecticut"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>A couple weeks ago I was able to make my first real trip to Connecticut and I was really excited to see the area. \u00a0I&#8217;d been through before but I didn&#8217;t stop and explore the area. \u00a0So it was really nice to actually SEE the state and do a bit of exploring. \u00a0The funny thing is though, whenever I asked around what to see or do in the state, I kept getting replies of things to see in ANOTHER state. \u00a0Namely go to NYC. \u00a0I&#8217;ve been to NYC quite a few times (and will be returning next year for my first wedding there, yay!) so I decided to stick closer to home base in Windsor and explore the area.<\/p>\n<p>The first day I shopped until I dropped. \u00a0Oops. \u00a0Being in Ohio &#8211; especially not a very\u00a0affluent\u00a0area of Ohio &#8211; we don&#8217;t have a lot of the fancy stores others have, namely Tiffany. \u00a0I think the closest one (and the only one in Ohio?) is in\u00a0Cincinnati. \u00a0I was elated to be near one so I could replace a starfish necklace that went missing that my husband bought me a few years ago that I loved. \u00a0I got the last one they had and I did a happy dance in the store. \u00a0Yes, I did a happy dance in Tiffany. \u00a0The clerk was awesome and she did a shimmy too for me. \u00a0Needless to say I was happy.<\/p>\n<p>The second day my friend <a title=\"Portrait | The Lindsey Family | Strafford, NH\" href=\"https:\/\/coreyann.com\/blog\/2011\/01\/portrait-the-lindsey-family-strafford-nh\/\">Gianina<\/a> came in and we went and did what we always do &#8211; go see covered bridges. \u00a0As with <a title=\"Travel | Covered Bridges\" href=\"https:\/\/coreyann.com\/blog\/2011\/01\/travel-covered-bridges\/\">our outing last year<\/a>, the weather wasn&#8217;t so great. \u00a0Terrible in fact. \u00a0However at least the rain held off for part of the day and I&#8217;m thankful for that. \u00a0However once the rain started it started and holy cow. \u00a0It&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve been that soaked fully dressed. \u00a0We still had a good day and despite driving over 3 hours to two bridges that we weren&#8217;t able to even take pictures of (one was dismantled to be refurbished and one was on a park that was closed).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\"

\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Our first stop was this adorable but not historic covered bridge in Avon, CT called Huckleberry Hill. \u00a0Isn&#8217;t it adorable? \u00a0It is situated on a park and sits over a manmade waterfall that is really pretty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Covered Bridge of Connecticut\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.com\/ctcb-2.jpg\" alt=\"Fall colors in Connecticut\" width=\"900\" height=\"598\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">One of the ponds near the bridge had a great reflection of the colors on the trees starting to change. \u00a0So pretty, I bet this week it&#8217;s even more colorful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

CT\" width=\"598\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Our next stop as the rain started to pick up was in Kent, CT to see the Kent Falls Covered Bridge. \u00a0It isn&#8217;t historic but it is really cute.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Kent Falls in Kent CT\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.com\/ctcb-7.jpg\" alt=\"Kent Falls in Kent CT\" width=\"900\" height=\"598\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When we pulled up to the park where the bridge was we noticed people going on further. \u00a0Then we saw the waterfalls and both were laughing because at first we totally missed it. \u00a0I&#8217;m blaming the rain! \u00a0Ha! \u00a0Either way, we decided to head up to the falls to check them out closer. \u00a0However, it started to rain, and rain hard, when we got closer. \u00a0Neither of us had a raincoat or an umbrella. \u00a0We decided by the time we were to this point that heck, we were already soaked, we may as well walk to the top. \u00a0So we did. \u00a0I ended up having to take off my shoes (flip flops aren&#8217;t meant for hiking in the rain) and rolling up my pant legs. \u00a0Quite classy I say! \u00a0But I didn&#8217;t fall!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Bulls Covered Bridge in Kent CT\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coreyann.com\/ctcb-8.jpg\" alt=\"Bulls Covered Bridge in Kent CT\" width=\"900\" height=\"598\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">By the time we reached Bulls Covered Bridge, another historic bridge in Connecticut, it was a downpour. \u00a0So much rain that there was flood warnings in effect everywhere. \u00a0Can you tell?? \u00a0Since we were already drenched we figured we may as well get out for one more pic! \u00a0My D700 handled the rain without a blip.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple weeks ago I was able to make my first
