I left at 6 a.m. on a Thursday for my trip to Boston. I was hoping my timing would help me avoid heavy traffic on I-95, and it seemed to work. This was my first time driving on I-95 north of Baltimore and my first time driving past/through New York City. While I hit some expected slowdowns around the bridge and through New York, traffic was pretty great. If I hadn't made some tourist stops, I would have arrived in Worcester, Mass., (where I was staying with my cousin and his family) in 8-9 hours. Instead, I made a few leisurely stops to see parts of Connecticut.
Stop 1: Bridgeport
My hope was to see the P.T. Barnum Museum, and when I saw that this city was on the coast, I was excited for the water, too. However, once I parked, I ended up a little far from any touristy areas near the water. I did, however, see the water during my short walk through downtown. I loved the outside of the Barnum Museum. Sadly, when I tried to go inside, I was told it's closed for renovations. The only part open was a meager display of circus sculptures in an adjacent building.
