Last week we made the trip to visit a number of exciting sites and attractions in the most beautiful region of Massachusetts. The Berkshires are the southern continuation of Vermont's Green Mountains, surrounded by beautiful landscapes and quaint towns. We stayed at the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge which is around 2.5 hours outside of Boston. Shelburne Falls Glacial Potholes On the way to Stockbridge we made several stops to explore the Berkshires region. Our first destination was Upinngil Farm in Gil, MA.

We bought pasta and fresh cookies made from the grains grown on the farm. Our next stop o
