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.\u00a0 They barely let you escape their little seminar without one.\u00a0 That said The Berkshires in MA are so beautiful.\u00a0 I’ve never been- we usually go to Vermont or Hudson Valley NY for our trips to the country side.\u00a0 So when I got a call to visit and go to the time share seminar I thought, “How bad could it be?”\u00a0 Everything after the time share seminar was great.\u00a0 We stopped at a restaurant and ordered take out which we ate picnic style at a apple farm\/winery<\/a>.\u00a0 We tried the wine, ate some apple cider donuts and enjoyed the day.\u00a0 Hopefully we will go back to explore some more.\u00a0 I would love to go hiking there.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

First off we had to wake up really early so we got a chance to see the sunrise over Manhattan.\u00a0 This doesn’t happen very often with us!<\/p>\n
