Got the reservation in....apparently just in time too! I don't even remember what year my last fest was...but I know it was Tarrytown. I have been trying to get back to one forever it seems. I made up my mind that I would definitely make this one. I like that area too and always felt I would like to see more of it than I did the other time. With all the time to plan we may take a trip to NYC afterward. So exciting!
