Hither and Thither’s blog editor spent last weekend in Hudson, with a lot of pictures and shout-outs to local businesses. She writes:
Deciding not to take a car and committing to a single destination was at first a challenge; we love road trips and usually spend as much time on detours as final destinations. But traveling by train would not only save us money (especially important seeing as we just returned from a big trip) and make perfect sense for a one night getaway to such a walkable town, it would enforce a certain relaxation factor--i.e. no, we won't go an extra hour to find that famous pancake house but we will sit and enjoy the very tasty ones in town. (And we later learned that May 8th is actually National Train Day!)
