Here we go!

Today was my sister's party in Connecticut. We went and stayed there till six o'clock and then we left go to to Albany, New York. We had to drive through a little corner of Massachusetts to get back to NY! When we got hungry we decided to start looking for a place to eat dinner. We saw Burger King, but that wasn't very interesting! You can get BK anywhere! So we kept going, and saw a sign for something that said, "Berkshire Hillbillies". We thought this was pretty funny, so we decided to drive for five miles only, and look for it. If we didn't find it in five minutes, we'd turn around and go back the way we were going.

It turned out to be this really neat country restaurant with home cooking and a bakery and stuff. They were so nice there! My friend got a pork chop and apples, mashed potatoes and candied carrots, and I had a cheeseburger and fries. The burger was on a HOME MADE roll!!! I even stole some of her mashed potatoes, they were so good!

The waitress was super friendly and gave us lots of tips for where to go on our travels. I wrote them down and wrote down her name. If we go to any of those places I think we will send her a postcard. I think she'll like that!

We were too full for dessert but we bought two cinnamon pastries with nuts and icing and a half a dozen home made doughnuts with cinnamon sugar on them to eat for breakfast, 'cause we're visiting my friend, and it's always nice to bring something when you're a guest!

I just ate half a doughnut. BOY are they good. MAD good, as some would say! :)

Leaving that party, it started to rain a little, but it was still sunny. So guess what we saw? A DOUBLE rainbow! It was gorgeous. We got a picture but only one of the rainbows came out in it.

I don't think I'm going to eat anything in Albany because I don't think Albany is famous for any sort of foods. Albany is famous for making laws and having political events. And college.

Tomorrow we are heading out to Niagara Falls. I'll try and post tmw night or the following night.

Sounds like you're off to a great start! Please don't forget to post your itinerary, so I can map it as you go. BTW, you can get fresh buttermilk here at the Marcus Dairy restaurant at the Danbury Fair Mall. Love, Dad
