New York: Skiing, Hiking, and History
This past weekend I left the city, vowing to ski, only to be confronted with reality: it's spring. We arrived Friday night to a seriously beautiful cabin on a lake and immediately got to work on some seriously delicious guacamole. We woke up early the next day to hit the slopes.
That night we drowned our sad skiing sorrows in some delicious craft beers and dinner at Last Chance Cheese. Sunday we opted to ditch whatever snow was left on "the slopes" and go hiking. We found this awesome little trail with a suspension bridge, vernal pools, and panoramic views of the Hudson River. After the hike, we wandered through a mostly closed (sigh, Easter) Kingston, New York's first capitol. The picturesque town featured small shops, revolutionary war era cemeteries and lots of buildings of historical note. Also: crazy awesome brunch food.
Here's a few highlights from the beautiful spring weekend upstate.
