New York, what state.

How many of you automatically think of the city when someone mentions New York? I bet its a lot of you, but what many of you dont know think about is the rest of the state. Dont get me wrong NYC is amazing, but there are so many other fun places to go to. One of my favorite places has to be Copake. It is truely a town in the middle of nowwhere. When driving on the main road you will find a small rusty old sign pointing to this little old town. Amazingly they do have a gas station, which to me is schocking and as you drive towards the center of town there is a small garage with tons of classic cars. Now coming from a family who builds classic cars it never seizes to amaze me how we have to stop and look every time we drive through. You would think that it would get old, but it doesnt. When you get to the center of town all you have to do is stand in the center of the road and decided where you would like to go. On one corner there's the pharmacy, the next corner has the gas station, then the pizza parlor, and on the final corner is the local diner. It is one of the most quiet towns to be in. It has a certain relaxation because it is so far from the city or the drabs of homelife. It is just different.

We go to Millerton a lot. It's not that far from Copake. It really is a cool town.
