Wanna get away?

Remember that classic line in the Southwest airlines ad, "Wanna get away?" It always followed one of those "life's-most-embarrassing-moments" in its very entertaining ad campaign. Welcome to Laurel Ridge Narcissi Plantings, in Northfield, Connecticut, nearly fifty acres of serene rolling meadow filled with narcissi and daffodils.

Every year about mid-April, for more than seventy years, the fields light up with beautiful yellow and white blossoms. But this phenomena only lasts a few short weeks and then the blossoms are gone for another year. There are a few benches, stone stairways, rock walls to sit on and paths to hike. It's also a great place to just go and sit and take in the stunning beauty around you and just escape for a while. It's a great April respite, when you just "wanna get away."
