mohonk mountain
Last weekend was the first nice weekend we've had in a long time, so we decided it was time for a road trip, and took a little ride. Jason loves Anthony Bourdain, in a recent episode he explored the Hudson River Valley and one of his stops was Mohonk Mountain. After learning that this is the resort where Steven King frequently stayed and got his inspiration for The Shinning, Jason had to see it.
It is a magnificent resort tucked away in the beautiful mountains of the Hudson Valley with everything you can imagine. We explored the grounds and saw everything from cross country skiing and ice skating to snow shoeing. Right when we walked into the main entrance we were welcomed with the smell of wood burning fireplaces and we were in love. We walked around the castle and then walked out on the veranda overlooking the lake and relaxed in rocking chairs while enjoying the view. While it was just a quick day visit we have definitely added Mohonk Mountain to our list.

Totally cool! I didn't even know about this. Will have to add it to my to-do's :)
I've never heard of it, but it is gorgeous!

it looks beautiful but i can kind of see where he got the idea for The Shining.
That was a great episode. We went to Peter Kelly's X20 for our anniversary after watching it. I'm glad you went there that place looked so cool/creepy.
How cool! I've never heard of it but it looks really fun!
Ok, people who take blog breaks usually have plenty to blog about 40 weeks later. I'm just sayin' :o)
