Fun Things To Do

I can't believe this will already be our second summer here in North Carolina. Over the weekend I was inspired to create this book while looking for visiting information on our local museums. I covered a small notebook I had with a colorful piece of scrap paper and labeled it fun :) After doing a little research it's filled with fun things to do that are free and inexpensive in and around Raleigh. I'll keep you updated on our adventures :)

My Weekend in New York

I had the best time in New York with my sister who lives right across the street from the beach. We made dinner together, made funfetti cake, watched TV, and did some crafty things for ScrappyTime. On Saturday morning we drove into the city to visit the Brooklyn Botanic Garden which was amazing. We went at the perfect time for cherry blossom viewing season and I think I took over three hundred photographs there! The weather was perfect and the sky was so blue. Then we stopped to have lunch outside at San Loco before we went to Serendipity for dessert.

I love New York, my family lived there for awhile and I went to middle and high school in Bedford. My sister and I have a plan to someday live next door to each other and have a big, cool barn that we can share for holidays, parties, or just a Tuesday :) Here are some of my favorite moments and photographs from this weekend. You can see more of them on flickr too :)
