Autumn Here in New York

I like the sound of Autumn (not fall). Maybe I associate it with holidays or even holiday meals - apple pies, pumpkin...
We went to one of towns in upstate today (Sunday). We came here a couple of years ago, and we wanted to come back here ever since. Unbelievable colors and you can see FIVE states - NY, CT, PA, NJ and MA from here. No specific landmarks to tell which state you are looking at, so I am just believing we saw all five today.
There are stone edges which stuck out to enable to see even better views. You feels like you can jump into the bed of colorful trees. Since the parking lot was small, not so many people at a time, which was a good thing too.
Another reason we chose this location was this famous bakery in the close town. They have amazing pumpernickel bread - about 5lb each, yes FIVE. I have never seen this kind of heavy bread anywhere else, and per their website, they deliver all over the country.
Our dinner was very simple but fulfilling, as we did not have that much time for cooking. After all it was about 2 hours drive each way. Meat and Potatoes... typical American dinner. I did not roast cauliflower when I was in Japan, but this is one of the best ways to taste it. Again roasted onion was always good.
Great AUTUMN weekend.
