This month, my work schedule was adjusted so that I work Tuesdays through Saturdays and have off Sundays and Mondays. Having yesterday off in conjunction with my goal of taking a road trip every month led me the town of Essex, CT on the Connecticut River. After seeing the website describing the town as “the best small town in America,” I took a drive. And I wasn’t disappointed. Essex is a charming little town, perfect for a nice day trip to walk around and soak in some sun and small-town river life.
