Well I'm back and must say that it has been fun. Honestly, you don't know how much fun you can have in your own town or the ones near you, until you try. This year we weren't able to go on a 'real' vacation, so we decided to explore local towns, restaurants and parks. 

We do complain a lot about not being able to do much in our city, and it not a big metropolitan area with some sort of shows going on every Friday. To be honest, we just don't know what we are missing. 

First of all, upstate New York is one of the most scenic places on the East coast. Secondly, we have some gorgeous little historic towns with a real feel of America. 

Friday our plans were ruined by the rain, but we made up for it with lots of delicious food, little village shops, museum visit, pastry sampling, stand up comedy, and later more food. We has lunch at little village cafe with some awesome menu. Three of my most favorite foods - avocado, lobster and bacon - combined into one magnificent BLT. Ohhhhh thank goodness for delicious food!
Saturday we spent a day at an Antique Show and had a blast. While looking at some of the old things and just admiring the art work, we would ask for the price. After hearing how crazy expensive it is, we just kept the straight face and casually stroll away. Later we discussed how ridiculously expensive them things are with a fresh squeezed lemonade and fried dough. Yum!
Sunday after church we finished our little staycation with a dinner at a steakhouse.
I had a shrimp scampi. Go figure.
P.S. This extravaganza was paused for an hour every day so the hot mama could take a nap. Cannot deny a pregnant lady her nap.
