I’m Shelton Lively, a Connecticut resident, and expert on all things related to Connecticut.
I enjoy exploring the Nutmeg State with my family and writing reviews to share with other explorers of this great state.
One of my favorite things to do is explore our state parks, however, you can catch me checking out new restaurants, breweries, and museums.
I’ve got kids, so of course, I’ve become a frequent flier at Connecticut’s fine playgrounds and children’s museums, too.
Feel free to drop a comment if you have anything to add or any questions about my recommendations or reviews!
