We decided to begin our adventure by checking out some of the local shops. I was happy to see the high number of COVID precautions each store took. Many of the customers wore masks as well (My family and I did). The stores were all cute and reasonably priced. My first purchase was at Grand Fete. They have a lovely selection of local loose leaf teas. I highly recommend the lime cucumber blend! Perfectly refreshing for summer and just the right amount of caffeine. My other purchase was a jacket from La Rue Marche. The store is a little more on the selective side, but the inventory is so cute! They have some great sales and I could not pass up my new jacked.
After shopping, we checked in at The Phipps Inn. I was in absolute heaven! It's a beautiful B&B and clearly well cared for. The owners had some good COVID precautions put in place, which made us feel safe. There were other guests, but we only saw them briefly. The rooms were nice and clean. Breakfast the following morning was good. My only concern was the rosemary in the egg bake. I'm not a fan of rosemary and there was a lot in the eggs. However, the baked apple was delicious! Over all, it was a great stay at The Phipps Inn. I hope to go back in the the future.
Hudson is a nice place for a weekend get away. I was a little disappointed by the lack of social distancing at some of the restaurants and bars. There were a lot of staff not wearing masks. I didn't like this because they were handling food. Gross!
