We were there on the 16th, and the weather could not have been more perfect. We had planned to spend the entire day, but fly fishing was calling my name so...Yikes! Don't hurt me - we stayed only a few hours. Had a fine cinnamon roll at Eve and Delilah's, couldn't find a pumpkin funnel cake anywhere (who mentioned that in another thread? It's all I can think about!), tomato basil soup wasn't on the menus yet (try it!), had lunch at the Mine Restaurant (pretty tasty and included the chocolate raspberry cake), cinnamon bread was out - 30 min. wait and a line for it -, and a frozen lemonade (ooh! aah!) I was hoping we would hit the peak for color, but it sounds like we were early. Mr. Wildlife Biologist/Wetlands Specialist husband says it isn't going to be a banner year for color (don't ask him to explain unless you have time for at least a pot of coffee or two). All in all, we had a great, but short - er visit to the park than originally planned. I did notice that Main Street held most of the fall decorations. It was pretty, but in the past it has been "over the top beautiful", so I was slightly disappointed. I compared it to some old pics when I got home, and there's no comparison to what it looked like even a couple of years ago. P.S. Fly fishing was great, but I caught "nary a fish". Any visit to the city is a good one.
