We had a great visit with Caroline and Geoff. They picked us up and we went into the historical town of Hudson for a tour and dinner at The Willow, a really nice restaurant on the water. We started with a cocktail, shared a few appies and we also shared 4 mains. A great way to taste a bigger portion of the menu.
Below you will see our starting cocktails, and the food that followed.
