After a few days rain at Bear Mountain Inn in New York, we packed up the convertible for the long drive to Lexington, Massachusetts. I drove the 3 1/2 hours while Danielle slept as we continued our Northeast road trip (aka #TwoChicksAndARoadTrip), before finally arriving in Massachusetts at the Inn at Hastings Park. Why Lexington?
