While Kelly spent her 25th birthday at Bethany Beach, Bob and I wandered around the Farmers' Market in Tarrytown. It was totally unlike the crowded Farmers Markets at Bethany Beach or in Northern Virginia -the prices were low and there were NO lines of customers. Then we grabbed breakfast at the Eldorado Diner (great banana nut pancakes - we go back tomorrow with Noel, Derek, Parker and maybe Evan). We had tickets for a 3 hour tour of Kykuit (see photo) - the Rockefeller mansion that overlooks the Hudson River Valley. Just beautiful but after 3 hours of walking the house, gardens, carriage house, stables, I had had just about enough of rich people. Really really rich people. One last stop was at the Pocatino Church where the Rockellers had commissioned stained glass windows from Matisse and Marc Chagall. The rose window by Matisse was my fav. We had dinner at a fabulous restaurant on the Hudson River - it is called "Red Hat" Usually you need reservations on weekends - but we headed over there early and got in. I had the best dessert ever - warm sour cherry gateau (cake) with homemade vanilla ice cream with fresh peaches. All this was floating on apricot couli. The combination of fresh fruit flavors was incredible. We may need to go back tomorrow - just for dessert.
