Family vacation
Hope you had a great weekend! Alex, Toby and I drove up to the Hudson Valley yesterday for our first family vacation. Oh my goodness, it's GORGEOUS up here. (Have you been?) This morning, Toby and I woke up (very) early, walked around our rental house and checked out all the picture frames (his new passion). Then we sat on the porch together and enjoyed that amazing smell of the grass after a storm.
Posting will be light this week, and then we'll be back with photos and a little guide to the Hudson Valley -- seriously, it's so beautiful and charming here. (I've been secretly pretending we live here, and I like it:) Hope you have a great morning! xoxo

GORGEOUS!!!
My handsome husband and I took our kids to the Hudson River Valley last summer and we kept looking at each other and saying things like, "Wow, this is so not over-rated!"
xo, have a wonderful time!
That looks idyllic... enjoy!
Have a fantastic time on your first family vacation.

If you guys are looking for a day at the farm, you might head to Stone Barns in Tarrytown (I'm there Thursday-Sunday this summer)! I have a hunch Toby might want to see some chickens! xo.
Sounds dreamy!
Have a wonderful trip! Maybe the two of you can retire there, someday.
that looks like such a lovely little getaway! i've never been but am going to add it to my list now :)
How wonderful...I love it there:) Your morning sounds so relaxing and fun:) Enjoy it sweetie and see you soon:)
Kisses and have fun!
You went there??? How exciting! Even though Toby might not remember this family vacation I know you will have those memories forever. So sweet!
Enjoy the lovely family vacation.
Have a lovely vacation!!

Oooo! It looks so relaxing! A great place to take a walk...and then have a nap! :-)
That's so wonderful to take a trip like that! I hope the rest of your week is fun and Toby explores other wonders of the Hudson Valley! Although picture frames can be quite mesmerizing!
That's where I want us to live when we move back. Rhinebeck! I hear they are getting a Metro North extension up there! ; )
It looks so lovely! I am jealous of all of you, have fun! :)
What nice pictures! Sounds like a Lot of fun! I've never been but maybe one day. I'm currently in the car driving through New Brunswick Canada on the way to Prince Edward Island for our own get away too.
Regis amd Kelly are currently there but I promise we had no idea before planning and I think we will miss them by a day hehe

That looks like the perfect summer getaway place, just what I imagined that area to look like.

The weather has been so beautiful up here! I'm just down the road in the Berkshires. Enjoy!

ps -- I think I may have seen you on TV last night. Food Network's "Kid in a Candy Store" featured an adorable baker in NYC who drives around in her van selling her sweets... dessert nachos, cupcake cones, etc. I'm pretty sure I saw your cameo at the window?! How awesome -- and those treats looked phenomenol! i am still hungry for those nachos...
This sounds delightful; hope your first trip with Toby was wonderful. Looking forward to more about it!
Lovely pics!! I'm stuck in humid NYC dreaming of living there, too! ;)

Hi, Joanna! That looks amazing--screened in porches might be my new favorite thing. Hope you're all having a great time.
You've probably discovered all you need for now, but we found lots of great Hudson tips on Jauntsetter and you might like some of the links on our post (Weekender: Hudson, NY), too. It looks like you might be near Saugerties, though? What a beautiful area!
This looks absolutely lovely! Do you mind if I ask what part you are in? We are always looking for fun weekend trips from the city.
Enjoy!
Sounds so blissful! Enjoy happiness!!
well, that sounds sweetly perfect.
Agreed about the Hudson River Valley! So beautiful and love that it holds so much of early American lore. Inspired me to write this little guide
kristin, that's so funny! i've never been to that bakery truck, so i must have a look-a-like out there :) and kristina j, we've been hanging out in kingston, rhinebeck, tivoli and red hook -- all super cute little towns! we've also been to saugerties in the past, which is gooooorgeous. xo
I'm from the heart of the Hudson Valley (Poughkeepsie), and I miss it every day... most gorgeous place in the world. I could suggest things to see/do for ages if you ever go back!
that's i grew up! near Bard College, a liberal arts school. glad you loved it up there!! i sure miss it and would LOVE to see your post/guide to the Hudson Valley.
gorgeous pics! hope you're having fun :)
I love vacation...Thanks
