MA – MassGathering in the Berkshires

Time for a girls weekend in the Berkshires!  It was a warm and steamy weekend, but we made the most of it.  Having the genny and A/C was awesome, and a real treat after the half marathon we ran.  The festival was held at Ski Butternut and there were quite a few good local/regional bands.  The headliner was the Gin Blossoms, but sadly a string of thunderstorms and flash flood warnings forced us to head for home before they took the stage.  Maybe next year!

NJ – Tall Timbers

This place isn’t really a campground and is 95% ownership lots/sites with trailers and park models that are semi-permanent…but it was the closest place to stay overnight for the NY Warrior Dash mud/obstacle race that we ran.  Plus, it allowed us to finally put on our New Jersey sticker!  The people here that we talked to were all very friendly, and the management office has at least one site that they allow transient nightly rentals on, so that’s what we did.

The race itself was great!  They just relaxed their age minimum to 12, so Theo was able to do it!  No more mamby-pamby kids races for him!
