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, […]

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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
I have had Berlin Mountain [Intersection of Torrey Woods Rd and Berlin Road, Williamstown MA – continue on Berlin and the parking lot will pop up on the left – The trail is a two minute walk back down the road on the same side as the lot] on my […]
Any time I enter a garden conservatory I feel as though I’ve been transported to another land. No matter what the weather is outside, under the glass frames the temperature is catered to the warmth the plants require – and I happen to crave. A visit to The Botanic Garden […]
It was Halloween, which is also our anniversary. Seven years of shenanigans. “What do you wanna do to celebrate babe?” Same thing we always do, babe. So off to the mountains we went, this time, the Taconics. Alander Mountain [Rt. 22 and Under Mountain Road in Ancram, NY, keep heading […]
You read a lot of books in high school, some are okay, some bore you, some you totally forget about, but a few stick with you…possibly forever. The Crucible by Arthur Miller was one of those sticky books for me. I don’t know if it was the history of the […]
On a picture perfect day my girlfriends and I set out into the Berkshires to visit The Clark [225 South St, Williamstown, MA 01267]. Students and children under 18 are free, others pay a hefty $20 admission price – however the beauty of this museum is worth it for an […]
Just an hour outside of Albany lays the quaint little Millerton, NY right on the border of Connecticut. Millerton is full of kitsch and well worth a visit, especially if you enjoy tea. Our first stop in the town found us in the Harney and Sons [13 Main St, Millerton, […]
After a long day of shopping and visiting a crazy roadside attraction, were hungry and in the Berkshires. To Nudel it was! A fine restaurant in Lenox, MA where we would enjoy a charming dinner. The chow was fantastic. We ordered three small plates and a small portion of pasta. […]
For three years I have been making an annual trip to Northampton, MA to holiday shop. For three long years I have been filled with a burning curiosity about a truly bizarre roadside attraction. After three long years, I finally made it to the Dead Frog Circus in Holyoke, MA…and […]
The holiday season is SO BUSY! I feel extra rushed because I need to get all of my shopping and wrapping done by the 12th this year, challenge accepted! My favorite way to shop for the holidays is by taking a day trip to Northampton, MA. This is my third […]
