What Happens in the Birkshires...

Goes on my blog!  Chris and I went up to see my parents in the Birkshires this weekend.  They rented a house for 3 weeks in Falls Village, CT (about 2 1/2-3 hours from the city).  It was a great places and an amazing get-away.  Here are a few pictures from our trip:

Chris and I in front of the cornfield in the backyard of the house...right before we saw a snake.               


Fantastic cocktails at our amazing Saturday night dinner.
Chris and I at the restaurant after dinner.
The fam...minus Nick outside the restaurant after dinner.
Stunning sunset on the way home from dinner.
By far the silliest picture of the trip. Doing strawberry facemasks.
A field filled with sunflowers...unfortunately at the time when this picture was taken they were all facing the wrong direction.
Covered bridge country!
We bought lots of great old books at random sales in various towns.  A Girl Scout Handbook from the 1930's, a 1940's copy of Dante's Divine Comedy, a couple of fantastic cookbooks, an interesting tell all survival book, and a few art books.

Some things from going antiquing around the small towns: a vintage first aid kit ($1), an ammo box from the '40s ($25), and a vintage Sears microscope ($5).

Sadly, all vacations come to an end, but this view driving into NYC sure does make it a bit better...
And coming home to this little guy!
