Classic self-timer shotOver the years, the girls and I have met in many Hudson Valley towns. Woodstock, Saugerties, Rhinebeck, New Paltz and Kingston come immediately to mind as locations which have witnessed our antics as we attempt to squeeze in all we wish to share - thoughts, experiences, illicit indulgences, a meal...whatever. It would be … Continue reading Roadtrip Rendezvous – Kingston
