While on vacation, my husband and I talked about how much we enjoy hiking and exploring the woods when we're away. Then we thought about why we don't do more of it when we we're at home. Life gets in the way...we get bogged down with all of the things we have to do instead of enjoying the things we like to do. So we decided that we'd make time to do a nature walk or visit a nearby trail after we're home. We're taking the time to see what's all around us...perhaps you should do the same!

Hancock Shaker Village - Hancock, MA
I'd really recommend that you leave a whole day to visit the village as we were a little rushed trying to see everything in just under five hours and we weren't able to hike the trails as we just ran out of time. Be sure to get a mike for the self guided tour at the reception desk. A number of the original buildings have been restored so that visitors can see what life must have been like and how the Shakers lived. The round barn itself was beautiful and shouldn't be missed. There are demonstrations and talks throughout the village and there's a cafe and an ice cream shop on site. We had a great day and would recommend a stop here for anyone in the Berkshires!
