What a better way to end the summer than with a trip to Western Massachusetts?
The Blue Steps at Naumkeag
We managed to check out Naumkeg, grabbed a nosh and a stroll around Northampton, and visited the Smith College Museum of Art and the Eric Carle Museum.
Naumkeag is a 26-room gabled mansion designed by Stanford White in 1885. It was the summer home of Joseph Hodges Choate, a prominent 19th-century attorney who also served as U.S. Ambassador to England.

The Blue Steps is a a series of deep blue fountain pools. It is just one of the impressive (and interesting) features of this fairly incredible “home,” which is located just outside of Stockbridge, MA.
The views from the home were pretty nice as well, with impressive views of nearby Monument Mountain.
