We decided that we didn't want to spend the 3 day weekend at home so with just a few days notice we planned a fun little get away. Frank found a smokin' deal on Priceline for a great hotel in Riverhead, Long Island. It took us less than 2 hours to get there driving (yes that includes through mid-town traffic). We drove into Sag Harbor to hit our favorite shake and burger joint. (Think Twinkies shake, or Toasted Marshmallow!)
We then went back to the hotel for some chill time. In the morning we took a drive along the vineyard trail. We noted farmstand we want to visit once it warms up. We drove to the very tip of the Island, passing farms, lavender fields, and nation parks/beaches. We then made our way through the Hamptons heading for East Hamptons for some lunch. You can go by Scoop de Jour (even in the winter).
The Milk Pail is another must stop off of 27. It is a cute little farm stand open year round. They make homemade apple cider and donuts. You can pick your own apples there in the fall.
It took us a bit longer to get back home but all in all it was a fun weekend (we have done this all in one day before too and still worth it!)
