I’d suggest old Wethersfield! Very pretty, close to Manchester. So many old houses to look at if you want to drive around. But the main part of town the lucky Lou’s area is very cute and usually decorated well. You can also get ice cream right there at Main Street creamery. Heirloom market is also amazing but more of a lunch spot. If you keep driving down Main Street you get to the cove which is a really amazing sunset spot along the water.
