It took awhile (damn Firefox kept crashing…what’s that about?), but I now have some great bones for my trip up the Hudson River Valley.

Day 1: Travel plus visits to Sunnyside and Kykuit. Lodging at Tarrytown House Estate.

Day 2: Visits to Cold Spring and Boscobel. Lodging at Inn At the Falls.

Day 3: Visits to FDR’s place, Vanderbilt, and lunch at the Culinary Institute of America. Yum! Then off to Rhinebeck for a weekend class.

Day 4: All-day class.

Day 5: Half-day class, then travel back to DC.

Looking forward to it…too bad it’s a month off :(.
