Possibly the loftiest goal on my Bucket List, and one of the most important to me, is visiting each of the 50 states in the USA.
For years I have been visiting Connecticut. And for a while I lived there. It's a second home to me, so you can imagine there are many things I love about the state.
One of the very best things about Connecticut is it's proximity to everything. For example, the ocean. I was lucky enough to spend a lot of my childhood on the beaches of California, but being by the ocean as an adult made me appreciate my surroundings more.
(A photo I took on my first trip to Connecticut. It was autumn and absolutely beautiful!)
The trees in Connecticut are beautiful. I could have lived on our back deck. The yard was full of squirrels. We had cardinals, and deer, and occasionally little snakes in the yard. Every time I left the house I saw wildlife in one form or another, and that made me forget all about the hurricanes, ice storms, humidity, and being lost on narrow windy roads. It was the perfect place for a nature lover like myself.

One my favorite things about Connecticut is that I was able to visit so many
other states. In the west we don't have that option.We drive for hours
and never cross a border. As a girl with a very specific bucket list, you can see how
this thrilled me!
