Connecticut. September 2025.
A trip inspired by Lorelai and Rory's quintessential small-town life with a touch of fall. Though the season was just beginning, it already carried that unmistakable Gilmore fall vibe — crisp mornings, inviting cafés, bookstore browsing, Ivy League charm, and a road trip playlist that set the perfect tone for fully embracing every spontaneous detour along the way. From coastal views to country roads, Connecticut was one to remember.
