While Wall Street Burns, We Vacate

As seen in a Manhattan store window.

Going on vacation the same week that the economy is collapsing is quite a surreal experience. Just as the Dow was skidding and Wall Street was panicking, we were driving through Vermont and New Hampshire, on a trip planned long before the nation’s economic woes grew so severe.

After a week in New York on business (where, among other things, we discovered our favorite pizza joint yet — details to come — we drove up to Southern Vermont, then up to the northern part of the state, and then New Hampshire. In all three regions, we were treated to the best fall weather/fall colors combo in years, the locals kept telling us.

We also hit some good meals, a couple of medicore ones, and adjusted our plans as Blogger Preschooler suffered through an ear infection.
