So you can say it's almost official. In about two weeks we will be the proud owners of a quintessential farmhouse near Sullivan County, NY. The journey that brought us to this moment started last summer. A spontaneous trip sparked by an awful nyc restaurant experience (we have a 4 year old son who was 3 at the time...need I say more :>). We were "over" the city and decided taking a drive up north to the Catskills was just the medicine we needed. Mind you, neither my husband or I had ever been there before....we were purely going on a bohemian spirit of adventure and the inspiration from a NY Times article that talked about this quaint town called Livingston Manor. So off we went to our adventure......
We arrived at Livingston Manor only to find that maybe it wasn't so much of the "it" town that the Times had made it out to be. We couldn't even find a bed and breakfast to stay at. Lucky for me I always carry with my laptop and wireless card (what would we do without technology). We discovered there was a town called Roscoe just 5 minutes away and found a great B and B to stay at called The Reynolds House (one of the oldest operating B and B's in the country).
And so the real adventure would begin.....
I welcome you to this blog! I will be covering all the great family activities that this region has to offer. From the quaint coffee houses, to the local artist and locally grown products. There is so much to see and learn. For us this journey means more than just a weekend house in the country. This is a chance to reconnect to a simpler time. To unplug a little from the hectic pace of the city and return to what is most important....quality time with family and friends.
Hope you enjoy the journey with us!
