Another side of New York

Yesterday, we headed to Beacon, NY for a friend's house party. No, not that kind of house party. We took the Metro North train and had a real scenic journey to our destination, getting a chance to take in the views along the Hudson River and some of the towns of Westchester County. I think one of the stops on the Hudson Line was Peekskill. Wasn't that where The Facts of Life was fictitiously set? Anyhow, who knew New York had some pretty parts to the state? It was good to get away and be part of a nice gathering of friends and family but good to get back to Brooklyn.
