SNAPSHOTS: VEGAS, BABY

vegas1

Ok, so, I had never been to Vegas before. But I love NYC with all the lights and craziness, so I figured - how different could Vegas be? Right? Um, yeah. Personally, I think Vegas is like NYC on steroids. And maybe it was just because we just spent a week out in the quiet desert, but Vegas was a bit overwhelming when we first arrived. So many people. So much going on. But we warmed up to it after a while. We walked the strip, stuffed our faces, tried our hand at some slots (no such luck), had muuuuultiple frozen hot chocolates at Serendipity, and saw a Cirque Du Soleil show. It was actually a lot of fun!

p.s - this is the last of our trip photos. Phew, we made it through!

BEACH TRIP

winterbeach1

How was everyone’s Valentines? For us, we had a whole weekend of fun :) After a delicious dinner on Friday, Saturday was spent on a deserted beach before the snow started coming down, and then Sunday we went on a snow shoeing adventure (more on that later). But the beach? The beach in cold weather is always my favorite.

It’s official, Henry really does not like the snow. Like, really really. Don’t worry - he was only out there for a minute and then he was back to being warm and cozy in his favorite…. cardboard box.

I really don’t blame him though. We are now burred in snow and hoping that there is no reason to go outside into the negative degree temperatures. I’d be happy with this weekend consisting only of pajamas and soup and netflix. 

Stay warm, my friends. 

Happy Halloween

Happy halloween, my friends.

We were pretty original with our costumes this year. A lot of effort went into these, as you can see :). But really, after all the work that was put into last years costumes, we decided to keep it pretty low key this year. 

And besides, I don’t think Henry really understands the idea behind Halloween. He wasn’t a fan of the mummy costume we tried putting him in, so he decided to go as a strikingly beautiful, well-behaved black cat instead.

on a side note - this halloween has turned into an actual nightmare, as my grandpa passed away yesterday morning. It was quite a shock, and everything is kind of turned up side down right now. I had today’s (I still couldn’t help but share) and tomorrow’s posts scheduled already, but things may be a bit quieter around here next week. Thank you for understanding.

Topsfield Fair

topsfield1

It was a rainy, cold, and at one point - powerless day at the fair last weekend. But its a yearly tradition, and I couldn’t not go this year. I would’ve had a big sad face. So we grabbed our umbrellas and headed out to Topsfield. Even with the rain, we gobbled down all our favorite foods (seriously the best part of any fair), the animals were still all smiles, and the game people still hassled us to spend our money. 

Aaaaah I love the fair :)

New England Fall Adventure

fall1

On Saturday, Boo and I embarked on the quintessential New England fall day. We drove all the way up into New Hampshire, over to Maine, and then back down into Massachusetts. All in one day. We took in the changing foliage, came across a small town farmers market, climbed to a few waterfalls, ate lunch overlooking the beautiful view above, stopped for some pumpkin donuts and maple popcorn and apple cider, and took sooooo many pictures.

It was one gorgeous day, I tell you :)
