Do you like chicken Caesar salads? It’s Jeff’s go to salad, he’s probably had thousands of them over the course of his life. We were going for dinner and he wasn’t even that hungry, so decided to order something a bit lighter. He wasn’t really all that excited for a […]

There wasn’t a whole lot of information offered online, so once again, thoughts started bubbling in my mind. I always feel like places aren’t going to exist! But there it was, a legitimate State Park sign, and a really spacious gravel parking lot. We had reached Wahconah Falls State Park […]
Every night as soon as it got dark I hurried outside to watch the waxing of the moon. It was coming. We drove through the woods and gathered on the hill. It had arrived. Now was time for our full moon hike at Hilltop Orchards [508 Canaan Rd, Richmond, MA […]
Driving through the Berkshires, Jeff wistfully said he could really use a cup of joe. It just so happened that we were about to pass through West Stockbridge, I told him not to worry…I knew just the place. It was years since I’d been, and I only went in once. […]
A small sculpture park, well off the beaten path, is nestled in the hills of the Berkshires. Drive up the steep gravel road and you have reached Butler Sculpture Park [481 Shunpike Road, Sheffield, MA 01257]. Robert Butler himself came out to say hello, it was a warm September day […]
Sculpture parks are one of my favorite places to frolic (other include fields of wildflowers and sandy shores) amidst larger than life imaginative creations under the big ole sky. Sunday was all about road tripping back from New Hampshire, and DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park [51 Sandy Pond Rd, Lincoln, […]
Between the service and the food, I cannot rave enough about the wonderful experience at Fatima’s Cafe [43 W Boylston St, Worcester, MA 01605]. It was the perfect place to stop on our road trip from Albany to New Hampshire and a good excuse to experience a town I’ve never […]
This is one of the best, most unique, and exciting hikes I have been on in a long time. Actually, one of the top hikes I have been on in the region overall. I would say if you are capable of doing a 6.75 mile hike and willing to drive […]
Dine al fresco in Great Barrington beside the pines of Main Street, feast upon elevated junk food as kings of the Berkshires! The Bistro Box [937 S Main St Great Barrington, MA 01230] is my favorite place to go after a gruelingly wonderful day of hiking and exploring Western Mass, […]
Fresh, fancy, fit for a king frozen yogurt. Over the past few years a lot of different frozen yogurts spots popped up and in height of the craze, which spot do you choose to go to? Ayelada [1210 Troy Schenectady Rd, Latham, NY 12110] is the Greek word for Cow, […]
Every so often you find one of those towns you fall for. The idyllic, romantic, old school village of Shelburne Falls stole my heart, and even though it’s quite a drive I can’t help but find reasons to return again and again. The road to town is beautiful and there […]
I never got into bowling. My parents brought us as kids, and they were on bowling teams, but I wasn’t any good and never developed an interest in it. Same story with Jeff. So in the seven years of our relationship, we had never been bowling together! Fancy that. We were […]
A perfect little country store with killer sandwiches, Hager Farm Market [1232 Mohawk Trail, Shelburne Falls, MA 01370] is such a great spot for lunch! Not all sandwiches are created equal. The sandwiches here start on homemade bread with fun flavors and consist of quality ingredients. I went with the […]
Nature, something that can be so beautiful or terrifying, is certainly always inspiring. It is the perfect topic for a poet to study. Frederick Goddard Tuckerman was a resident of Greenfield, MA moved to write his nature poetry while sitting at the highest point in the city, a place dubbed […]
Butterflies are one of the most enchanting, yet fleeting creatures on earth. I can’t help my excitement when I see one in nature, but every time I try to get a closer look they fly away. A visit to Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory & Gardens [281 Greenfield Rd, South Deerfield, […]
