There's no place like

The plan was to visit a beautiful state park and enjoy the leaves and a short hike.  1 1/2 hours to get there.  30 minutes to hike.  1 1/2 hours to get home.  Plan B.  Take the car out to The Prop (an iconic Watertown location!), park, and look at all the beautiful homes along the lake.  We walked.  We gaped.  We were impressed.  Note--I did stop walking when I gaped, so no injuries to report!)  It was a gorgeous morning, and the work that has been done at the inlet blew our socks off.  Then of course, there were the trees in many hues, the white capped waters, and my best friend with whom to enjoy it.  We earned it, and we did it!  Lunch at the Prop.  If you have not had one of their garlic burgers, you need to do that.  Pair it with an ice cold Chilada, and the day is complete.  Too often, we just forget how beautiful home can be!  Enjoy your home, get out and see it, and know you are loved!
