New Yahk

A bit disappointed that we didn't get to hear more incredible accents. At least New Joisey hasn't let us down in that department. Still, New York has a charm all its own.

Just outside the Met

Grand Central and The Empire State Building

Grand Central (one of my favorites)

I'm currently experiencing some major roof garden lust.

Bauhaus Coffee

Amazingly stylish drinking apparatus, complements of the Met.

Princeton

Although I can't say that it was ever a serious regret, one thing that we did put on the backburner when we had Ryann was travel. We love travelling, but once we had a wee babe, our travels naturally turned to visiting family rather than visiting places. Now that we again find ourselves a young, unattached couple, we've decided to squeeze in as many crazy trips as possible before another little one joins our ranks.

Although, we're still considering a short European backpacking excursion with baby-pack. Epic.

We're currently visiting our long-lost Walla Walla Valley friends who now live near Princeton University. Today we gawked at the gorgeous campus, got ice cream at Bent Spoon (one of the top ten ice cream shops in the US), and rubbernecked at Edison's old house. Tomorrow we're catching a train into New York City where we're going to attempt to see Grand Central, the Met, Chicago on Broadway, and eat tons of delicious goodies.

Froyo

A respite from the heat.

Early Anniversary Present

One of the little shops across the street was having a sale the other day. Jared took me in to scope out some possible purses, and although I loved this one, it was too pricey. Unbeknownst to me, Jared had already popped in and talked with the shop girl. This particular purse would go on sale the following day and if I liked it, the girl would call Jared to let him know how much its sale price was.

Enter the villian!

Apparently there was a woman in the shop who overheard this sneaky exchange. After mulling it over during the day, she returned to the shop and bought the bag at full price. She had to have it!

Enter the savior!

Her husband made her return it.

Independence Treats

I have a slight baking habit.

Oh, to be Young

I was sitting on the couch, watching a movie and cuddling with little L.

L - 'You remind me of Auntie B.'

Me - 'Oh do I?'

L - 'Yeah. You're fun and have brown hair and visit us and cuddle.'

Me - 'Aw, thanks L.'

L - 'Yeah, but she's skinnier.'
