I can say with certainty that this summer my family and I will be doing more than we did last summer. That's not saying much because last summer we did nothing at all. While I won't be bringing my family to indoor events yet, there's a lot Connecticut has to offer in the way of outdoor activities.
You'll fine my Summer 2021 Bucket List below:
1. Lavender Pond Farm (Killingworth, CT)
I have never been here before, but I've always wanted to visit. Strolling through fields of lavender sounds lovely to me. They also sell lots of lavender products- I'm looking at you, Lavender Lemonade!

2. AquaventuresCT (Glastonbury, CT)
This is a canoe and kayak rental, located on the Connecticut River. They offer paddle boards, kayaks, canoes, and paddle boats (for four). It looks like the rentals are for 1-5 hours.

3. Slipaway River Tours
Slipaway offers public and private tours of the Connecticut River. Departure docks include Wethersfield Cove, Glastonbury Riverfront Park, and Rocky Hill Ferry Park.

4. Elizabeth Park (West Hartford, CT)
We have been here many times, but we could go here a million times more and still be excited out it. The gardens are beautiful, there is a playground in one part of the park, and there is plenty of space for a summer picnic. This park also has a summer concert series.

5. Buttonwood Farm (Griswold, CT)
From July 21-August 1, Buttonwood Farm sells bouquets of sunflowers and 100% of the proceeds go to Make A Wish Foundation of Connecticut. They grow 14 acres of sunflowers and they are beautiful. The farm also has a cool hayride and they make their own really tasty ice cream. I have brought my oldest son here, but I'm excited to bring both kids.
