history is about people.
It’s about what we do together
and what drives us apart.
It’s about struggle.”

Life Is Full of Sweet Spots 
I love Essex, and I love The Griswold Inn. We went to Essex many times when I was a child on my Dad’s boat. I was there at the Griswold not so very long ago for a wedding celebration. It was fun walking around the area…so many happy memories! Wonderful poem!

Yes, the Griswold Inn, and Essex in general, is one of my favorite spots. Always fun to just walk around and see what you see!
