Well, this weekend couldn’t have been any better if we had actually planned it!
Saturday: Jack and I went with our tried and true method of taking a train to the end of its line and seeing what’s there. This time the LIRR! The plan was Montauk (where Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet meet in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind!), but due to its less than stellar schedule, at the last minute we went with Greenport. It’s about a 3 hour ride out there and though it’s not along the water, which we had hoped for, you do go through so neat vineyard, farmland and woods. We nibbled on macarons, made some phone calls, played with these adorable French flash cards my mom sent and watched the landscape go by. Arriving at about 5:00, we found that the last train of the day was going to leave in an hour. So, it was either find a place to stay for the night or have to rush any sight seeing and run back to the train. Luckily, at the last minute, we found a great little inn, dropped off our bags and poked around the town.
Sunday: We woke up early and checked out. We poked around the town further, now getting to see some of the shops that had been closed the night before. Great antique stores! Though the main strip was wonderful, my favorite part about the town are its neighborhoods. It was adorable house after adorable house. I wanted to move in, right there and then! We talked to a bunch of the locals and took in the incredible weather while sipping coffee in the park. It was the perfect spur-of-the-moment vacation!
I’m looking forward to our next trip out. We’re going to rent bikes and take the ferry out to Shelter Island! Exciting!!

Man, lots to do in the office today. Thankfully I’m not missing out on a too beautiful of a day… Yesterday was stunning though, and Jack and I took full advantage of it; eating in Riverside Park and I buying myself a few peonies!
Going to try out a little fast and finally get down to doing my taxes this weekend. Nothing really exciting, just chillin’. Love and Peace!

And to celebrate Jack and I went down, during my lunch break, to check out the Union Square Greenmarket! I highly recommend checking it out; open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday. It’s wonderful to see all the local producers and everyone mingling, enjoying the warmth! We got some nice organic steak and turkey, which I am very much looking forward to cooking up!
In other news, YES, more puppy pictures… I love French Bulldogs! Enjoy your weekend and the beginning of Spring!

Aside from another fun monthly brunch at Bondi Road, I have rubbed my feet raw from all the walking while getting my feet used to flip-flops again. This weekend was quite a stunner!

I think spring is finally upon us! I just got back from a late lunch with Jack and it’s spectacular out! I really thought about playing hooking for the remainder of the day.

And, yet another weekend has come to a close. The weather is really neat right now; where you can feel Spring forcing its way in, but only in the sunlight. Winter still claims the shade and wind.

I’m very very ready to warmer weather and these look like the perfect thing to force in springtime.
Wow, Free People has a ton of really cute sandals! Hmmm, decision making time.
