I took a trip back home to western Massachusetts in August to attend my high school reunion. I had forgotten how beautiful it is up there! Most years I visit during the Nov/Dec time-frame when it is starting to get really cold. This was the first trip back (I think since I was 17) that I had gone in summer. Everything was so green, especially since it had been a really rainy summer. It was so beautiful I didn’t want to leave.

Hanging out in Northampton! :)



Thornes Market in Northampton still has the cutest stuff. Sometimes when I see something cute, I just take a picture of it (keeps me from spending $$).







Just a bright yellow garage door that I thought looked cool.

Fitzwilly’s Restaurant and Pub in Northhampton.

HAD to stop in at Herrell’s Ice Cream…..

Look Park…..Wow! I had forgotten how magical and beautiful that place was. How lucky were we to have been able to go to a park like that as children.



My boys were not with me on this trip. I wish they had been with me for the train ride through the park.

The big open field in Look Park.


The outdoor theater in Look Park…crazy beautiful and quite enchanting. I had forgotten about that place.
