Hi, Aerie<\/a> fam! Brand creative director Summer here, and I\u2019m taking you behind the scenes of our latest shoot for holiday. To convey a nostalgic spirit this season, we traveled \u201chome\u201d to Hudson Valley and the Catskills of New York. For many of us, the road to home is filled with traditions: a favorite restaurant, a local gift shop, the halfway-there convenience stop, etc. Find out where we chose to highlight as our favorite pitstops and sleepover areas during our four-day journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

DAY 1  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you need a getaway spot before you reunite with family and friends, or the drive home is simply too long for one day. A sweet stop-over is a MUST (so sweet that you may not want to leave, like me!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scribner\u2019s Catskills Lodge<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

13 Scriber Hollow Rd, Hunter, NY 12442 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

http:\/\/www.scribnerslodge.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no secret that we aren\u2019t actually shooting during the season we are advertising so one of the hardest things to do this go around was trying to avoid the autumn leaves and all of their golden shades of beauty on Hunter Mountain. I can only image this spot in the middle of actual<\/em> winter, covered in snow and speckled with skiers in the distance. This is a dream destination anytime of the year, whether you\u2019re a regular at the pool through summer, enjoying peace and nature throughout spring and fall or turning into a snow bunny in the winter. A real gem in the heart of the Catskills.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun fact: this is a dog-friendly lodge, so it truly is a home away from home. Let me give a special thank you and a little background to the star of the season, our furry friend Madison. Madison is a 1.5-year-old AmStaff, bulldog and boxer mix. She made her way to Brooklyn from a kill shelter in Tennessee, the day before she was due for the chopping block. Madison\u2019s message: adopt \u2014 don\u2019t buy from puppy mills! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Besides the picturesque views in every direction, my favorite part was Old Man Scribner\u2019s garden that can be seen upon entering the property. During our visit, it was full of lettuces and squashes and other garden-grown goods that are used in seasonal dishes available at the on-site restaurant, Scribner’s Prospect<\/a> and for room service. I was even gifted a Calabash squash which is by far the largest squash I have ever seen, held and eaten!! I hand carried this treasure home via plane and gifted to my husband who happily grilled for us. We enjoyed for nearly a week! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

N<\/strong>otch Lake<\/strong> aka Devil\u2019s Tombstone<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY-214, Hunter, NY 12442 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.dec.ny.gov\/outdoor\/24462.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A lovely public spot for a lakeside reflection, a picnic with friends or a hike to find the devil\u2019s tombstone (we never found it). Keep your eyes peeled for all the creatures big and small. (Check out this cute little garter snake we found. Yes, I really picked him up and he obliged for a photo op with Nathalie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

DAY 2 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Diners are teeming with tradition and we managed to pop by not one, but two during our adventures home. We also worked in a trip to a farmer\u2019s market, because when are fresh fruits and veggies NOT a good idea? Never!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phoenecia<\/strong> Diner<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5681 NY-28, Phoenicia, NY 12464 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.phoeniciadiner.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were lucky enough to take over the inside and add some festive holiday flair. It\u2019s the quintessential roadside diner complete with iconic signage, swiveling barstools and their own cookbook. The diner also has a whole outdoor setup perfect for these socially distant times. You order from a classic airstream and enjoy your meal at picnic tables under cafe string lights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, we traveled east to another favorite and in true road tripping fashion one of the members of our convoy was pulled over for a busted brake light! IMPORTANT REMINDER to all who are hitting the road this holiday: check your fluids, blinkers and spare tire. And it\u2019s always good to have a blanket (maybe that cozy Aerie fleece from last holiday, a flashlight and SNACKS!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

West <\/strong>Taghkanic<\/strong> Diner <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1016 NY-82, Ancram, NY 12502 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.wtdinerny.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This place is just stunning and a real eye catcher when cruising along the Taconic Parkway. If the striking red, blue and silver exterior doesn\u2019t get you, the epic neon signage is a can\u2019t-miss feature day or night. We were given access to the retro interior which is temporarily closed to the public. We filled the glass cooler and counter with pies and waffles galore. Samirah took advantage of the bar like it was her own catwalk \u2026 funny what happens when you have the place to yourself. Currently the diner has an outdoor experience similar to the Phoenicia Diner and it was set up with picnic tables that are scattered amongst a co-op garden. And the food \u2014 fantastic! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meisner\u2019s Heritage Farm Market  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3771 U.S. 9, Hudson, NY 12534 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

http:\/\/www.meisnersheritagefarm.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because arriving home without gifts is a no-no. We opted for homemade pies and fresh greens to adorn the fireplace. There\u2019s nothing better than a local market with fresh produce and other homegrown treasures like honeycombs, mums or wreaths. Owner Melissa was so accommodating and super excited to witness the shoot in process. It\u2019s always fun to make people smile while you invade their space =). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 3 & 4 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Collier\u2019s Cold Springs Tree Farm<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

43 Cold Spring Road, Hudson, New York 12534 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

http:\/\/www.coldspringtrees.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although we were a little early to actual tree picking, we got to enjoy traipsing amongst the balsam and Fraser pines, crowd-free thanks to the lovely owner Joyce. AND we were even allowed to borrow \u201cDad\u2019s\u201d (or \u201cPappy\u2019s\u201d) woody (LOL) for a little joyride and tree transportation. For me, nostalgia is watching [National Lampoon\u2019s]<\/em> Christmas Vacation<\/em> with my siblings the day after Thanksgiving so you can imagine my excitement when we found \u201cClark Griswold\u201d vibes in a vehicle; a well-kept 1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

P<\/strong>rivate Home,<\/strong> Hudson Valley<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where we enjoyed some traditional pastimes including tree decorating, Netflix and chilling with popcorn and baking cookies while dancing in the kitchen. This was also the setting for my first, and Aerie\u2019s first, pie-in-the-face episode. Overheard on set, \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to be pie\u2019d!\u201d LOL. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Out on the Town<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of making memories in a cozy home, we also ventured around the region to find great spots to stay, have dinner, grab coffee and more \u2014 including getting our hands on some of the most delicious fresh bread around! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
