First I’m going to say that if you ever get a call to go see a time share and you will get some visa gift card or free stay or some other gift- DON’T DO IT unless you reallllly want to buy a time share.  They barely let you escape their little seminar without one.  That said The Berkshires in MA are so beautiful.  I’ve never been- we usually go to Vermont or Hudson Valley NY for our trips to the country side.  So when I got a call to visit and go to the time share seminar I thought, “How bad could it be?”  Everything after the time share seminar was great.  We stopped at a restaurant and ordered take out which we ate picnic style at a apple farm/winery.  We tried the wine, ate some apple cider donuts and enjoyed the day.  Hopefully we will go back to explore some more.  I would love to go hiking there.  Not serious hiking but the kind where you bring a bottle of wine and enjoy the trails, have a picnic and take in the view.

First off we had to wake up really early so we got a chance to see the sunrise over Manhattan.  This doesn’t happen very often with us!

This is the sunset over Garden State Plaza mall as we sat in traffic on Rt. 17.  Already missing the country…..

These were all taken with my 50mm f/1.4- love it!
