Pace Bend Park

I had a paid holiday for Good Friday (thanks Seton!) so Michael took the day off and we went camping :).

I think this was the first time we have gone totally by ourselves and it was really fun and relaxing. Turns out I planned pretty well and we had everything we needed. I also was very glad I had taken the time a few months ago to really clean out and organize the camper. We played games, made s'mores, hiked, and read books. Plus the weather was really nice. Can't wait to go again!

Pretty view while hiking!

NYC Photo Dump

Over my birthday weekend, my friend Julie and I went to NYC! We stayed with Brooke, and had a fabulous time being tourists. Julie did have a small bought of food poisoning, but it only put her out of commission for about a half day.

Day 1: 9/11 Memorial, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island Museum, Purl Soho, Chintatown, and MOMA.

View from the Ferry!

Day 2: Shake Shack, Museum of Natural History, Times Square and saw Mamma Mia

Day 3: Brunch at Friend of a Farmer, Shopping, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Empire State Building

Day 4: Mood Fabric Store and travel home

Such a fun fun fun trip! It was awesome seeing Brooke again, she has a pretty fun life up there and is doing great stuff with the kids she teaches. Can't wait for the next one!
