@traveling__bliss: 🎄 Essex, Connecticut is the definition of a Hallmark Christmas Town! 🚂 Board the North Pole Express at Essex Steam Train. Tickets seem to be sold out for the season on their website, but you can still go and watch the trains arrive/depart. 👣 Walk the main street and browse some of the local shops. ❤️ Dine/stay at the historic Griswold Inn! It’s decorated beautifully, the food and drinks are delicious, and there were even carolers when I was there! #essexct #cttowns #connecticuttowns #hallmarktown #hallmarktowns #hallmarkchristmas #hallmarkchristmastown #newenglandchristmas #christmasinct #ctchristmas #christmasinnewengland
