My son says his hamburger was the best he had ever had, I concur, the texture was light but substantial {does that make sense??}.
As you can see, they had some pumpkin loving on display. I thought this was a great idea, a variety of gourds, squash and pumpkins spilling out of an overturned pot, sort of a monstrous cornucopia.

A great caesar is one of the foods I miss most from the US and grilled sounds even better! YUM. Congratulations – I love your blog (which I hope you already know ;)) so I awarded you the Versatile Blogger award today. Stop by to get the details…:)
Great post…enjoyed seeing the Halloween spirit alive and well across college campus lawns!! The Essex is so pretty, we were there many years ago and I do remember even then the food being really good. I am sure it was great to get home though.
Did you narrow down the schools I hope?
The Essex sounds and looks lovely! Thanks for sharing it here.
New England in the fall is pure magic. Looks like you had a lovely tour. Aren't the leaves here in Seattle gorgeous this year? I can't remember them ever being so colorful!
Lovely seasonal displays. It sounds as if you and your son had a very successful trip on the East Coast. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Just love seeing this fall college tour… I do get a little misty, I must admit, just thinking of you and your son sharing this time together.
i am enjoying your posts on new england… makes me a little homesick for boston but seattle is unreal right now… wish i could get together this weekend but i will be away until nov 7th … then the holidays go into swing at the ticking… so after that… i would love to!
hope all is going well with school plans… just think of all the fun trips to visit! xoxo
Love all your beautiful fall New England shots. My daughter loved St. Lawrence. Who knows – maybe we'll see you there next year. And I'e heard the Essex is lovely – good to have your confirmation!!
What a wonderful tour…love following along. So happy it was a great trip for you!!
