A mini-waterfall that turns into a pool
Saturday Miss Whatsit and I went to Bash Bish Falls. It was Copake Falls Day, but I found out Bash Bish is actually on the bum end of Massachusetts and not part of Copake Falls. When Miss Whatsit and I got to Bash Bish we took [...]
Saturday night I was given the task to find something to do on Sunday, after Miss Whatsit and I went berry picking and had brunch with the Hudson House. I scoured the usual suspects for suggestions of where to go (Matador Network, BootsNAll, Novel Destinations and Trazzler). I scored two wins on Trazzler with [...]
Abandoned elevated train track turned elevated park
Yesterday was crazy scavenger hunt day! Although I never got lost, like I did on Monday, it was a definitely an adventure in randomness.
I started off my day by visiting Orchard Corset Center. Don’t let the prices on the website fool you– from what I [...]
Yesterday was a hodge podge of adventures. I went to the last day of BEA, walked around a bit and picked up quite a few books. I always want to list all the books I buy or get but I realize that for most people reading said list would be tedious and possibly annoying. [...]

Other books published by them include Michelle Goodman‘s Anti 9 to 5 Guide and My [...]

Rope Structure in one of Lake Taghkanic Park’s playgrounds
This past Saturday was Miss Whatsit’s birthday and we celebrated in grand fashion at Lake Taghkanic’s State Park. Even though the youngest of our group was over 20, we still played on the playground like children. I’m not sure if the person who designed [...]
Last Saturday Kara, Miss Whatsit and I went to Kingston and New Paltz. New Paltz was still adorable and I explored more of it than I had the last time. Miss Whatsit’s one request was to get some ice cream. We found a plaza at the end of the main drag, which had many [...]
