Jan Mann "Crusing Connecticut With a Picnic Basket"
Glastonbury, CT

Cruising Connecticut combines an eclectic selection of places to visit with the fine art of picnicking. From hunting spring wildflowers to wine tasting — from hiking and biking on miles of trails to tubing and kayaking on our waterways — from city walking tour to country drives — from old homesteads to unique museums. And, who would think of picnicking in the middle of a shopping trip or at the theater!
