Jet-Setting: Middletown, CT





I spent this past weekend celebrating my nephew's birthday and niece's baptism in Middletown, CT with my whole family. It was such a wonderful weekend, and with all of us scattered across the country, it was really great for all of us to be together and catch up.
We stayed on Main Street at the historic Inn at Middletown, which was smack dab in the middle of the quaint New England town. The Inn itself, was a large brick colonial building, with a cozy courtyard (and delicious brunch), an entryway with spiral staircase and large chandelier, and the beds were extremely comfortable. Walking around town, it was evident that the area is undergoing some revitalization. Signs for festivals and concert series were strung across the street. And, enticing restaurants and wine bars have popped up in-between dark storefronts (or, wig shops- we saw two). It was also nice to jog through the hilly streets nearby on the Wesleyan campus and look at all the old large brick houses and academic buildings.
The jet-setting continues this week, down to PA, DC & Virginia......
