ONLINE VACATION
BRISTOL, CONNECTICUT, USA
10/27/13
Hi Everyone. Today we are making our way to the northeast part of the
United States to Bristol, Connecticut.
Bristol is a suburban city located in Hartford County, Connecticut, USA.
As of the 2010 census, the population of the city was 60,477.
Bristol is primarily known as the home of ESPN, whose central studios are
in the city. Bristol is also home to Lake Compounce, America's oldest
still-functioning theme park. Bristol was known as a clock-making city
in the 19th century, and is home to the American Clock & Watch Museum.
Bristol's nicknames include the "Bell City", because of a history
manufacturing innovative spring-driven doorbells, and the "Mum City",
because it was once a leader in chrysanthemum production and still
holds an annual Bristol Mum Festival.
February is the coldest month of the year with average temperatures
between 12 and 31 degrees Fahrenheit. The warmest month is August
with the average temperatures between 60 and 83 degrees F. They have
an average of 56 inches of snow a year, with the most being in
December. The average rainfall is 48 inches a year, with the most
being in April.
I hope you enjoy our visit to Bristol, Connecticut.
