A Day in The Bull is in Trumbull, CT.

[edit] Understand

Welcome to the town of Trumbull! Through this one-day itinerary you will understand the small-town feel Trumbull conveys. With a population of just understand 36,000, this Connecticut town is home to delicious eateries and beautiful New England scenery. Whether just staying for a day, keep in mind that Trumbull is listed on CNN’s Top 100 Places to Live!

[edit] Prepare

This day trip would be around the spring or summertime, possibly even the fall, based on one’s preferences, but I would not say that it is a winter trip because the scenic beauty the town has to offer is better accentuated during warmer days. If traveling in the spring or summer, pack lightly and enjoy the warm New England weather. It can get a big hot, so pack some sunscreen if you are playing on walking around the town, or spending your day in one of Trumbull’s beautiful parks!

[edit] Get in
