We decided on the charming Fairlawn Inn [...]

Lakeview House Restaurant
We found another great restaurant offering beautiful water views that we love so very much and warm and inviting service at the Lakeview House Restaurant overlooking Orange Lake in Newburgh, NY.

I am hopeful that [...]

Well, looks like a rainy weekend coming up in the Hudson Vally, as such, no special “day-trip” for us planned – darn. So while we can’t take our very special “day-trip” that doesn’t mean we can’t think about it – think about a future trip!
There are some wonderful events/activities taking place in the Hudson Valley [...]

What a great day today out and about with my honey. Took a ride around Roundout Reservoir in NY. We so enjoy taking our day-trips through the Catskills, along the many reservoirs, lakes and streams in NY. Stopping along side the water’s edge, fishing, walking along or just sitting and relaxing. Having lived in NY my [...]
