Kingston, NY — As a graduate of nearby Marist College, where The Purple Thread first began, I have always found the surrounding Hudson Valley area to be extra special, and love getting back. Enjoy the weekend’s highlights of charming historic sites, unique shops, and great food.

A Well-Rounded Weekend

Kingston, New York

“Kingston, NY has always been a hub for culture, commerce, and tourism. Today, this former state capital has evolved into a vibrant destination that attracts visitors from around the world. Bounded by the majestic Catskill and Shawangunk mountain ranges to the west and the mighty Hudson River to the east, Kingston is an exciting intersection of natural beauty, history, the arts, and upscale urban chic.” — Kingston Happenings

As always, balanced well-being isn’t perfect. It’s better.

For a get-away, it means a little planning, but plenty of room to wander, eating well but keeping a “when in Rome” mindset, movement that feels good but maybe at a slower pace, and perhaps sharing it with others. (Though sometimes, time alone is just the answer). You’ll know what you need.

Remember to try to take a little bit of what feels good while “away,” home with you.
