Connecticut is made up of 169 towns and I’m pretty sure I’ve been to all of them.
Thousands of families own small businesses across the state and the House family loves these “Mom and Pop” shops, like the Dafoulas Family’s Town Grill in Voluntown.
You learn so much about people, history and geography by spending time in places like these, Tell me about a great family business in your city and town and Kara, the kids and I will check it out.

We love eating on the patio at the Mill on the river here in South Windsor. We are so fortunate that we are just next-door to it too! So it’s like eating in the neighborhood in luxury and seeing friends and neighbors! We love the family that owns it and they always come over and talk the food is delicious the service is impeccable.

Olive Oyl’s on Main Street in Essex is a great place to stop by for some delicious food. Everything from great breakfast sandwiches to already prepared dinner items with yummy sandwiches and baked goods too! They’ve also got great coffee. When you’re done you can stroll about downtown Essex or visit the Connecticut River museum.
