Given yesterday's frustration, we decided to take it easy for a change. Yes, it was another day in Mario Mode, but worth it, even if I'm not presenting as I'd like. By the time we got out of the house, it was about 2 pm, and I figured that I'd show her were some people with money live in the nearby backwoods....
I'll always find it amazing how many large plots of land are available in the Hudson Valley. No wonder why so many "rich" people are choosing to skip the Hamptons and buy more affordable land on the nearby back roads. For today's drive, I chose to drive along the original Albany Post Road in Putnam County and surprise RQS.
RQS, living in the outer boroughs of NYC, doesn't often get the chance to see large plots of land with one (or two) building(s) on them. Seeing these lots made her understand why good properties in the Hudson Valley are hot right now. Although I do not know what the selling price of one property I am familiar with, I am sure that the owners made a decent profit compared to the price the property once sold for.
On the way home, we stopped in Cold Spring for a photographic expedition. I stayed near the gazebo, while RQS experimented with her camera nearby. As you can guess, this was an even better day than the day before.
