Massachusetts Trip

Two weeks ago, the week of my birthday, we stayed on a random Thursday night in Massachusetts to use my dad's time share credits.  It was quite a long drive for one night, about four hours.  But we thoroughly enjoyed it.  The kids love a hotel, and this one was very nice, as the WorldMark timeshares usually are.  This one was technically a Wyndham Resort at Bentley Brook, alongside a ski resort called Jiminy Peak.  It would be fantastic in the winter.  The lift is just outside the hotel room.

Lydia insists that we come back sometime for two weeks.  They loved the wooded setting and the great room.  It was a whole suite with two bedrooms and a living room and kitchen.  We went to the hometown of Norman Rockwell and took the kids to the museum there.  We also happened upon a maple syrup farm where we purchased some of each darkness and saw how they extract the sap from the trees.  We also went to the Hancock Shaker Village, where we went in some old dormitories and saw a traditional dance and singing.

The location would be more fun in good weather.  There's a lake nearby, and the ski resort has fun alpine slides and stuff.  We happened to have intense rain the day we were there.

On the way back, we stopped by the Butler and enjoyed a nice visit.
