Stranger Things on Broadway - again!

 I got to see Stranger Things The First Shadow on Broadway- again!

The last time I saw it was in June with City Girl #1.  This time I won the ticket lottery and took Mr. Click. 


It was a rainy weekend and getting to see a Broadway show was the perfect outing for a Sunday. We started our trip on the train in rainy NJ.
It had stopped raining when we got into NYC so we walked to the Marquis Theatre.
I didn't take as many photos of the theatre this time so if you are curious about it, you can see it all here.
I was excited for Mr. Click to see the show and I was excited to see it again-after watching season 5 of Stranger Things.
We had great seats and they are quite comfortable for theatre seats with more legroom than most.   The show was fantastic again and Mr. Click loved it.
We weren't planning to have dinner in the city but the sun had come out and it was so warm that we decided to stay in the city a little longer to enjoy the weather.
I had a list of places to try on my phone and we tried Bocca di Bacco. The service and food were great!   Another fun day in the city!

{Thrifting} April Thrifting

 I think March was a total bust for thrifting for me. I went out a few times and didn't find anything worth bringing home. I was disappointed with my local Goodwill (the national chain is being nicknamed Greedwill these days).  

I ventured out to some different thrift stores in April and started finding things again (and renewed my faith in thrifting).  This was my haul from three stores on the same day.  One store was a bust so I did pretty well with the other two.
I've been trying to do more "analogue" hobbies and I'm loving this adult coloring book.    You can see Willow approves, of course.
I found three tops, three mini vases (one is a shot glass but I'm using it as a vase) and a brand new with tags Anthropologie Natalie Lété Christmas mug.
A close up of the tops. The shirt on the left has a subtle Minnie and Mickey theme. Perfect for Disney!
I really wanted some little vases for single or tiny blooms.  This is one of my favorites in action.
The GAP blue top.
The vintage white blouse with ruffle sleeves. I almost bought a similar one at JCrew but this one buttons so it's more versatile.  The cashier was oohing and ahing over it.
Here's the Minnie & Mickey top. I'll probably only wear this in Disney.
I tried it on with a black skirt and liked it too.
The wooden crate looks brand new and from the Home Edit line at Walmart.
It's been a great addition to our newly organized Linen Closet.
This mug is so special. I love this Anthro line of products.  They are selling online for way more than I paid so I've listed it on Poshmark but if it doesn't sell. I'll use it in my own Christmas kitchen decor.

See ya next month with more thrifts!

Enjoying Spring in Philly

We had a free Saturday and took an impromptu trip into Philadelphia.
We had lunch at one of our favorite restaurants, Bar Bombon. It happens to be vegan and it's so good.   
We started with the nachos.
The weather in the city was so much warmer than it was back at home. It was the most glorious Spring day in Rittenhouse Square.
The park was mobbed and full of people enjoying the beautiful day.
I always enjoy walking around the park and looking at the gardens.  
They were looking good!
We walked around the city and did some shopping before heading home.  It was such a nice day!

Easter at The Brooklyn Bonatic Garden

 We were heading back to Brooklyn for Easter this year.
I got in the spirit with some bunny ears.
Willow was not amused.
Getting a few pics before we left.
This tree only blooms for a few days so I like to get a photo of it in bloom. I had Easter baskets for the girls.  It was fun to put some together this year.
We had a little moving to do with City Girl 2 at her old place .  
Of course we stopped for coffee.
I got an iced tea.
We had tickets for the Booklyn Botanic Garden and it was our first visit.
It was beautiful even in early Spring.

Tulips!



It's sure to be even prettier in a few weeks.
I loved these soft yellow flowers.
Of course there were daffodils...
some forget-me-nots...
More daffodils..

The cherry blossoms were in full bloom.
We stopped at the Terrain gift shop on the way out.  We went to brunch afterwards but it was pouring so I didn't get any more photos.
 I can't wait to go back!

Have you ever been to a botanic or botanical garden?
