Birthday Brunch & Shopping in Brooklyn

We celebrated City Girl #1's birthday in Brooklyn. We had dinner plans but with a big snow/ice storm coming in, we changed our reservations to brunch at the same restaurant.

I dressed in layers for the chilly day and had my Uniqulo HeatTech leggings on as an added layer.

We stopped to get her some flowers and then headed to Brooklyn. We didn't hit any traffic (when does that happen?!) and got there early so we stopped in at our new favorite coffeehouse -The West Brooklyn to kill some time.

We picked up each of the girls and drove to Rosticceria Evelina. We lucked out with parking right in front of the restaurant! We had a delightful brunch and nice time together. I got the avocado toast and home fries. Yum!

We took City Girl to one of her favorite yarn shops in Brooklyn.

It was so pretty and I had to touch a lot of the yarn.

I thought this loom was so cool! We treated to her some yarn to make another sweater (she is a master knitter!).

City Girl #2 was ready to go home so we dropped her off and went back to CG's apartment. I helped her arrange the flowers-she didn't have a vase so we improvised a water bottle. Mr Click fixed a few things in her apartment for her (Handyman Dad to the rescue!) and got to see her kitty Apollo.

We were too full after brunch for dessert, but later we treated ourselves to some cannolis to take home at an Italian bakery. We wanted to get home before the snow started and she had homework to do so we had to say our goodbyes after the bakery. Happy Birthday to my first baby! xo

Life Lately

A bit of my life lately...

The deck was looking pretty and we had our first fire in the fire pit.

City Girl 2 was home for a weekend and we went to see Mr. Click's band. #imshort

We had our first s'mores of the summer. Have you tried them with the Reeses' Cup Thins and Ritz Crackers? So good!

Another critter friend on my walk. Hello there!

This critter was not happy about me packing for a trip. City Girl #1 broke her foot and also needed a minor mouth surgery so we went into the city to help out.

We stayed at the lovely Indigo Hotel.

Gotta get the hotel room selfie!

We stopped at CG 2's apartment first and I got some time with this cutie.

We had dinner at a cool restaurant in Williamsburg and it started to pour. We were in the greenhouse so we didn't get wet but it felt very tropical.

Arming myself with some coffee at the hotel's cool coffee bar.

We walked down to the water. What a view.

more views!

We stopped at Blackseed Bagels for breakfast.

It was my first pumpernickel everything bagel. Yum!

Walking around Grand Central Market while waiting for CG 1.

Grand Central Station never gets old!

I got to spend some quality time with this handsome fella as his mom recuperated.

Anniversary Weekend: {Sting at Wolftrap & Brooklyn Brunch}

It was sad to come home from our trip to Mexico but luckily we had some fun things planned the following weekend.

Not only was it Labor Day weekend, it was also our anniversary (33 years!)! We kicked it off with an anniversary lunch in New Hope.

We love to walk over the bridge to Lambertville, New Jersey when we're in New Hope. For our walk, I tried this Starbucks Apple Crisp Oat Milk Macchiato. It was just ok and I probably wouldn't order it again. Have you tried it?

That night Mr. Click's band was recording a promo video. We got there early so he could set up and I took a walk in the lovely neighborhood. Look at these cuties!

It was kind of a little party/band concert and we had a really good time with everybody.

The next morning we were off to....Virginia! What? We had to stop for some Sheetz coffee along the way.

We were going to see STING in concert at Wolftrap in Virginia. We had tickets to see him in May in Philly but our extended graduation plans made us sell them. It was awesome to still be able to see him.

It was our first time at Wolftrap and we loved it.

We couldn't believe all the things you could bring into a show like coolers, alcohol, food, blankets and chairs. We had seats but sitting out on the grass looked like fun too.

We didn't know what to expect and got there early for the show. We had some time before we could get to our seats so we tried some beers and got some snacks. The weather was perfect for an outdoor show.

Sting's son, Joe Sumner opened the show and then The Last Bandoleros did a set. They were both really good.

Of course Sting was amazing!

Guess where we are now? Yep, Brooklyn! On Labor Day we went to NYC to visit our girls (and Toki). Not seen here, Apollo who hid from us. :(

We had a fantastic brunch at Sunday in Brooklyn.

I got this warm grain bowl. So yum. They are also known for their Sunday Pancakes™ so we got one for the table and it was delicious.

The best part was getting to spend some time with these two lovelies!
