October 5, 2015 at 10:05 pmI went to Mount Holyoke College in Western Mass and to Tufts for grad school and absolutely loved everything about fall in the Berkshires! Of course once winter hit and there was snow on the ground, I loved going to Vermont to ski! And Maine was always a great getaway in the summer. Oh how I miss New England!
