One Year

I spent the weekend with the best person ever.  Doing some of the best things ever, visiting some of the best people ever.  We saw some of the most incredible flowers and plants (ever) and ate some of the best food ever.  How appropriate to mark One Year!

we stayed right down town -- but drove to Kennett Square and got to hang w/ Jesse 
how serendipitous that they have season passes to Longwood Gardens! 

where there are breathtaking fountains, magnificent flowers and plants and massively impressive conservatory

with much unique flora alongside some simply lovely ones, and pleasant aromas around each turn

in addition, we enjoyed fantastic fare, had our fair share of espresso, and on our way home, plopped down in a little park (Top Left) before we left for NJ. 

On our way home, we took a long detour through Princeton, stopping at Terhune Orchards, the Bent Spoon (whereupon we acquired an old Synesso (!)) and finished off the adventure with the comforting familiarity of deliciously, satisfying gelato.

Bear Mountain, New York

after some gourmet, Slatton breakfast burritos, we were off with our backpacks for a 4-mile hike through the fog...
