I don’t know about you, but my favorite thing to do while on vacation is eat. I’ve traveled recently to Seattle, San Francisco, New York and Denver - and found something new and tasty in each destination. It’s not well known around the blog-o-sphere - but I’m also a Food Network addict. I was watching a show the other day about COPIA and had to check it out.
Without a doubt, the most beautiful time of the year in the Hudson Valley of New York State is Autumn, when the weather is ideal and the scenery is breathtaking. The area’s tourism bureau offers several driving itineraries for self-guided Fall foliage tours, although there aren’t many places you can drive where you won’t be awestruck by the stunning display of colors.
These delightful drives can be combined with visits to the region’s many historic sites - the whole area is a National Historic Landmark District - or cultural events, interesting museums and eclectic array of festivals and fairs that will draw your attention and vie for your time.
