Anybody live in Connecticut??

We're invited to a birthday party in a few weeks in south Windsor. We live in NJ so we were planning on going up Saturday morning, doing some sightseeing, staying the night, then going o the party Sunday AM.
So.... What's near that area to see? it would only really be like a day we have to kill. We have a 3 year old DS so stuff for him would be good. Also....where to stay?

Do you know what route you are taking? I am not familiar with Windsor, but I grew up in CT. If you end up taking 84, Blue Jay Orchards in Bethel at exit 8/9 has pumpkin picking, apple picking, hayrides, and a nice little bake shoppe. Ferris Acres Creamery at exit 11 in Newtown has the best pumpkin ice cream ever. Other than that, just driving around should still be nice to see all the leaves.

I am also in CT. Ditto everything AR said. If it's nice out, it may be worth driving to Mystic Aquarium and Seaport. It's probably about an hour from South Windsor.

Thanks everyone! And especially this idea! I didn't realize it wasn't too bad of a drive to mystic seaport... So I think its what we might do :-) the farms sound great too, but we've been to a few this fall, so the aquarium will be something different.
