My daughter is a sophmore so I’ve been to Northampton a few times, but I never got to see Emily Dickenson’s house before this trip. Daughter is taking a class at Amherst so we drove her there on Friday and did a tour in the afternoon. Daughter rolled her eyes a few times at the overly enthusiastic tour guide, but I really enjoyed it. On Saturday, we visited Shelburne Falls to see the flower bridge and the potholes. I highly recommend them. I love Haymarket for breakfast or lunch. We also ate at Circa and the Tibetan restaurant, both of which were good. Daughter was as happy to see us as we were her, and she did take a couple showers at our hotel. We stayed at the Hotel Northampton, which is nice, but very busy with weddings. Once when we got off the elevator we could hardly get though the lobby it was so crowded with a wedding reception going on. I love Northampton and am jealous that my daughter gets to live there!
