We decided to spend a weekend in the mountains because we usually go to the beach. While our room has Internet, we are in a Victorian castle built on spectacular cliffs above the deep-blue waters of Lake Mohonk in 1869.

The hotel is in the heart of upstate New York’s scenic Hudson Valley and has thousands of acres of pristine forest and winding trails. It is just 90 miles north of New York City.

We spent the day in New Paltz touring the quaint town filled with art galleries, antique shops, great restaurants, and historic homes. Now we are getting ready for a lobster bake.

For some reason I didn’t feel like writing a tech story. Enjoy the pictures.
