Online after a week offline in Berkshire County MA!
Hello everyone! I just got back from Pittsfield, MA. I go up to the Berkshires at least once a year to get away from Newburgh and relax.
I had a good time chillin, and was surprised by a special treat - a massage at Cranwell - plus use of the Cranwell facilities..
This vacation I read Dharma Bums..
I watched some TV (something that I don't have at home). Watched some West Wing reruns..
Walked around some towns..
Went in the pool, sauna, hottub..
We went to The Lion's Den a couple times and to the Rt.7 Grill a couple times.
We also fell in love with corn fennel salad that we found at Guido's Supermarket.

Anyone else ever been to the Berkshires?

1. I've been to the Berkshires, although I've spent more time in the Pioneer Valley.
This is an off-season there -- I'll bet it was nice and relaxing.
