This weekend Jen and I took a ride on the Essex Dinner Train. This adventure, like so many others this summer, spawned from our Connecticut guide book.
The evening began at 4:30 when we arrived at the train station. We boarded the train and were greeted with some fresh vegetables and some tasty dip.
At 5:00pm promptly, the train began racing along its route at a fierce 10mph. Honestly, anything more would have resulted in a mess of tableware and spilled beverages. The train ride was two and a half hours long and included a salad, warm rolls, dinner (choice of stuffed chicken, prime rib, seafood something or other, and pasta primavera), and a dessert of chocolate cake and coffee.
The ride took us mostly along the Connecticut River going North to Hadlyme and turning around just past the Goodspeed Opera House.
I strongly recommend this adventure. It’s a bit pricey at $75 a head, but massively fun!
What? No Tie?
I LOVE this. how fun are you?!
