Little Lighted House

0 · Jul 4, 2012 · 18 Comments

Long day, full day, fun day yesterday!

Started off with the breakfast of champions –

Then headed into Woodstock to explore!

This town is essentially Stars Hollow.

I was immediately in love.

We decided on a little place called Mountain Creamery for a little something to eat.

So cute and homey.

We decided to split a turkey sandwich –

And saved dessert for later.

German chocolate and peanut butter soft serve!

Consumed on the little beach by the river!

Then ended our day with a quick and easy dinner –

The baked mac and cheese came out the clear winner. Poor Chad had to fend me off from his plate just so he could get some.

We got home exhausted and just fell into bed in our little lighted house.

    I go to school in this area, so it is really awesome to see your adventures/good eats in a place I now call home! (BTW, my friend ALWAYS orders the mac & cheese at Molly’s – she loves it. Their bread and butter is amazing too. My favorite is the grilled vegetable salad!)

    It looks like there is an angel on the porch of the little lighted house.
