Conneticut

In a line from the new Stepford wives movie (the one with Nicole Kidman) Glen Close explains, "Where better to hide a town of robots than Connecticut?" I have to say that I agree with this sentiment.

Though I have yet to spend a significant amount of time in Connecticut, I've driven through it a few times on the way to New York or to Boston. The drives to me were always bland. All the little towns looked alike. They had storefronts, a gas station, and a post office covering one block which composes the town center and small townhouses branch out from there. None of it is prarticularly interesting or attractive.

My father is a big naval buff, he loves tall ships and stories of pirates, so we took a day to visit Mystic Seaport. DO NOT GO unless you have a serious interest in ships and their inner-workings. Its a major tourist trap in my opinion. They have a lot of old boats and a lot of history but its just all very boring.

While I don't dislike Conneticut, I don't see it being the destination for my next vacation.
