Saturday of my dreams With warm weather right around the corner, this local professional, volunteer, and mentor— and Hinsdale resident—is dreaming of her perfect day.
9:00 a.m. | My morning begins with an hour-long
workout at On Pointe Barre and Fitness on Williams Street in Pittsfield. Jill, the instructor, is amazing and works her magic to keep us focused and energized.
10:30 a.m. | After a quick change, I head to Haven on
Franklin Street in Lenox for a yummy breakfast of French toast, eggs, and some people watching.
11:30 a.m.
| Next stop: the Catwalk Boutique on Church Street. It’s shopping with a purpose (proceeds benefit the Berkshire Humane Society) and I love their unique finds.
12:30 p.m.
| For some solitude, I make my way to the Berkshire Botanical Garden in Stockbridge and take in the surrounding beauty.
2:00 p.m.
| Meet up with a few friends at Olivia’s Overlook in West Stockbridge for a short afternoon hike. It’s a magical place, an easy to moderate hike that rewards you with a breathtaking view.
4:30 p.m.
| On the way home to change for dinner, I check in at The Spot on Tyler Street in Pittsfield for my favorite drink, the Vacay Smoothie.
6:30 p.m.
| Arrive at Tanglewood. The experience is made even better with good company and a basket filled with delicious treats. An assortment of crackers, vegan cheese, fruit, and chocolate from Guido’s is a must-have. They also carry a really great non-alcoholic wine called Töst that I love.
9:00 p.m. | Still enjoying Tanglewood under the stars.
