We stayed in Branford and visited family in Guilford. Most of the time we took the interstate, until one day discovered Route 146. There is a scenic marsh, a nice dairy, trees, and a slower speed limit. Although it didn't take much longer, if any, since it was a little shorter total distance. Enjoy the views!
