On our last full day in Windham, New York, Lisa hit the slopes while Meghan, Maren and I hit the town. And by hit the town, I mean we walked the lenght of the entire town and looked into the windows of all the closed shops. Yes, aparently most of the cute little shops are only open on the weekends. This lovely bear Maren is next to was outside a nice little store that we wanted to go into and tried on more than one day with no success.
After our unsuccessful 3 minute tour of our town, we headed down route 296 to Tannersville-where we had eaten Mexican the night before where they actually had an open store or two and had a great place called Last Chance Antiques, Cheese and Restaurant. True story. So, we went to eat here and it was so good. Instead of fries with your entree, they served a potato knish. Yum. We all had a really great meal in this place that is also an antique store. The decor on the walls and everything hanging from the ceiling is for sale. It was a really fun and cool place. Look around Maren at all the great things (including the Indian) that we could have bought.
On our winding way home, we saw some wild turkeys and some deer. Imagine the excitement of us city girls to see animals other than pigeons and rats!
That night for dinner we went to this great place called the Point Lookout Restaurant which overlooks 5 states in the mountain valley. The view was great and the food was awesome. The consensus was that we had the best house salad ever. Instead of just lettuce and dressing, there were olives, onions, tomatoes, croutons and the best peppercorn parmesian dressing ever. Seriously good. Then we each had a different entree and they were all so so so good. It was one of those small places where the owner is also the bartender and comes to your table more than once during the meal to see how you are liking it and to say “God bless you”.
The only downfall of our great meal was Lisas emergency. When she went to the bathroom, her iphone fell out of her back pocket and into the toilet! Ahhh! She comes running out of the bathroom saying “Emergency!” with her sad iphone in her hand in some papertowels. We tried to shake the water out and when we got home, we tried to blow dry the water out. Sadly, it did not work and our friend had to go get a new one when she got home.
For the following photos, I am not going to tell you the story, I am just going to let you decide on your own what happened and make up a story in your head. Enjoy the next part of our evening.
So, after that, we did some drinking and played some games. About three years ago, Lisa, Zak and I went to Toys R Us to buy some games and one game that was on super sale was Yahtzee Texas Hold ‘Em. We played once and Lisa loved it and Zak and I did not and since then every time we talk about playing a game this is what Lisa suggests and we have, not once, agreed to play it. So, for Lisa’s 30th birthday, we agreed to play one more time. And she was pumped.
We also played a rip-roaring game of pictionary that had many ties and was the closest game we had ever played. Then we headed off to our last sleep in the Catskills.
And don’t worry, we didn’t all have to sleep in the same bed. So, that was our trip. We had a great time and it was sure nice to see Marmen in the year 2009 and Lisa seemed to enjoy her skiing. Good times, girls.
