Last Weekend we packed up the Mini and headed over the George Washington Bridge, up the Palisades Parkway and into a land of small mountains called Up-State NY. The weather was challenging on Friday night with rain storms and very low visibility but the Mini endured and Miles slept away in the back seat -while Mama and Papa debated over what road to take, as many roads where closed due to the Hudson River flooding. When we arrived at the Kaaterskill in Greene County we were pleasentlay surprised. The family hotel was extermely charming and the view was tremedous. The lights and the sunsets with all of the rain clouds made for a unique sunset! After a great dinner in Hudson at DA|BA we headed back to our barn cabin and hit the hay (pun intended) - The next day we got up early with the crack of the rooster. After some good ole diner food we met up with Barbara our real estate agent and she took us on a 4 hour tour of the area. We looked at a number of houses. Nothing that made us pull out the checkbook.... "Are we countryside people?" - kept floating through our brains - or are we beach people? I think we know the answer to that but you never know?? Really like Woodstock and the mountains where green and vast but at the end of the day we were pooped and so we headed to the The Red Onion for dinner and soon we we sleeping away the mountain air. Rise and shine roosters don't wait for no one and mosquitoes don't care if you are sleeping or not - The largest pancakes in the world in Catskill (Hudson Junior) at Belles got me thinking of aother nap but after five cups of tea we were off to the races. Over the Hudson into Columbia County and down to the Dia Beacon via the backroads was a challenge but the Mini stayed strong and Papa keep the family focused as we spent the day exploring the land the call UpState NY
