Castle On the Hudson

By | Foodie, Homes and Interiors, Travel | One Comment

Lolo took us also to this beautiful castle!!!  If the trend is having restaurants in homes, this one was a castle!! It was a true home of an individual in the past and now it is a hotel with a restaurant.  Events and Weddings are also held here as it is truly a beautiful venue.

Lolo took us to one of his favorite restaurants in New Jersey!! A family friend took us here many years ago and since then, it has become one of Lolo’s favorites.

Love Gym, Phillips Exeter Academy

By | Education, For kids, Travel | 2 Comments

I made a separate entry for the gym because I thought it was important that a good school has to have good sports facilities.  We toured a bit late so it was about to close already but we were able to see part of it and were impressed

Bruegger’s Bagels

By | Foodie, Travel | One Comment

Is it true that all cities in the United States have a MAIN STREET?  We noticed in our road trips to the small cities, they always had a main street which was like their main street for shopping and restaurants…hmmm…This was the main street of Andover

 img_2905.JPG

So we drove through main street to look for a place to have breakfast and we stumbled into this!  Bruegger’s Bagels! 

img_2914.JPGimg_2910.JPG

Wow! And of course….the land of choices!!! They have all kinds of bagels!!! It makes it more difficult to choose when there are so many choices 🙂 Drives me nuts!

img_2909.JPGbagelmenu.jpgimg_2916.JPG

Despite the many choices, we still went for the regular with cream cheese 

img_2917.JPG

Tried to be healthy and ordered the whole wheat bagel 

img_2918.JPG

The cinnamon bagel was also good!!! Sticky but good 🙂 

img_2919.JPGbreakfastsandwichesmenubrueggers.jpgsignsandbruegers.jpghotpaninibruegers.jpgimg_2915.JPGsaladsmenubrueggers.jpg

They have a window where you can watch make the bagel- KETTLE BOILED BAGELS

Phillips Academy, Andover

By | Education, For kids, Travel | 4 Comments

The road trip started from New Jersey to Boston ( Boston, Massachusetts July 27, 2010 ) and from Boston we continued our educational tour ( Harvard University July 29, 2010 ) and took a peek at Phillips Andover in Andover.  A beautiful city and a nice environment for kids as it is very safe, a city with many greens, and a place with not too many distractions, therefore conducive to studying.  It was a saturday so there was no classes and no one was around to show us the campus.  So we just drove through
