So far-
Friday-Check in at the Hyatt, and an evening at Cooperstown
Saturday-Pudding
Sunday-Brunch at the Hard Rock Cafe
Monday-Check out

I know that we all have different tastes, likes and dislikes, but these are a few things that looked interesting to me.

I especially think that the Westworld Extreme Pursuit (paintball) would be an absolute riot! and their group rate is $25.00 usd per person. Looks like something we could do on Sunday, or Saturday afternoon. It is only 7 miles from the Hyatt, so would only be a short Taxi ride.

I went to the Botanical Gardens on Sunday afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's divided into different sections and a new succulents garden was under construction. It should be opened by December. Also, they have a night time garden tour with luminaries lining the pathways. However, I believe tickets for that must be purchased in advanced as it was had already sold out when I was there.

The Hart Museum is suppose to be another place of interest if you want to see Native American art. I didn't make it there but I hope to do so this coming December.

There's got to be a HUGE shopping centre somewhere in the vicinity, right? As a Brit, shopping will be very desirable for me, but I understand that the rest of you probably wouldn't find it so scintillating!

J would just LOVE the paintballing and I think it sounds ace too!
