After a restless night at our less than desirable accommodations we were in need of a wonderful breakfast to start what we knew would be an amazing day. We headed to Woodstock, New York to eat breakfast at the Garden Cafe On The Green.
The completely vegan menu was filled with delicious sounding breakfast dishes that I wanted to order all of them from the Oatmeal “Crème Brule” to the scrambles and of course the French Toast. However the Hubz and I finally made a decision and picked two amazing dishes, a side and coffee.
I had the Breakfast Burrito which was massive so I only ended up eating half and saved the other half for lunch.
It was really delicious.
Breakfast Burrito: black beans, tofu scramble, vegan cheddar, salsa and guacamole served with roasted potatoes
The Hubz had the Italian Scramble which was delicious as well and also a ton of food. He took some of his with us as well and we shared our leftovers for lunch later in the day.
Italian Scramble: spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, herbs, served with grilled baguette & roasted potatoes
Oh yeah and we had some vegan sausages- had we known that the meals were going to be so huge we probably wouldn’t have ordered them but they sure were delicious!
After breakfast we wondered around town and visited the local flea market where I found a few pieces of costume jewelry and some beautiful figs.
I am sure that you have figured out our final destination by now however you will still have to wait until the next post to see all the fun.
Friday night I was ready to get out of the house and get on the road for a spontaneous weekend away. My first thought was Montreal, one of our favorite destinations that we haven’t visited in quite some time. I found my passport, our Canadian bank cards and even our opus metro cards…but, unfortunately, there was one thing missing… the Hubz’s passport. After searching high and low for it, it hit me…it was in our lock box and that some how got left behind at my parents house….an hour away.
We discussed going to their house for the night, getting the passport and then heading to Montreal first thing Saturday morning, but I wanted to do Montreal right and spend 2 nights there. We then decided to jump in the car and hit the road to see where it would take us. We debated New Hampshire and contemplated Maine and about 10 minutes down the road I said lets go to New York. After picking up coffee and water we were on our way to the beautiful Catskills. We enjoyed a few yummy snacks thanks to Rice Works who sent me a few samples to try out.
After 3 and half hours of driving we finally made it to our destination and then found a less than desirable hotel to stay in.

You may have been following my tweets on twitter, giving hints as to where we ran off to, and although there have been some great guesses only one or two people got it right. This is just part one keep so reading to find out where we ended up.
