day one

On Saturday we took Metro-North up to New Haven, where we rented a car and headed north on 91. As we were passing Springfield, MA, Christopher suggested that we stop in at Bart's Cafe, in Greenfield, MA. Some old family friends (the friendship is old, not the friends) have recently opened a Bart's franchise in Greenfield. They live in Amherst and we stayed with them during my college reunion. We gave them a call to see if the store was open and then stopped in for ice cream, Italian soda and a warm visit. It was really nice to see their friendly faces and celebrate their first week of evening hours before continuing on to Vermont.
