Bucks County, PA.

When your friend asks if you want to go on a girls weekend to Bucks County, you don't say no! We had a full weekend itinerary prepared by the county's tourism board - think covered bridges, wine tasting, quaint country towns, and several delicious meals! Not a single thing about the weekend disappointed, and I'm still thinking about my key lime pie dessert from Friday and the adorable sheep at our bed and breakfast.

Since Christine is infinitely more eloquent than I, you should read her blog post about our adventures here. I was the unofficial photographer of the trip, so without further ado…

Thanks so much for inviting me, Christine!

New York Botanical Garden.

Blame it on the long winter, but I'm obsessed with spring this year. I cannot get enough of the blooming trees and flowers planted all around the city. My phone keeps warning me that it's running out of storage because I've filled it with hundreds of flower photos over the last few weeks. Christine and I made it our personal mission to see ALL OF THE BLOOMS so we were perfectly overwhelmed when we visited the New York Botanical Garden a few weeks ago. It was the nicest day of the year so far - 80 degrees with not a cloud in the sky! We brought out our pale skin (mostly me) and spring dresses and had such a happy day frolicking in New York's biggest botanical garden.

Newport, Rhode Island.

Aaron so sweetly surprised me with a Valentine's Day getaway to Newport, RI this year - the funny thing is, I'm so bad at letting the guy surprise me that somehow I got it out of him way before he had planned to tell me. Oops :)

He booked the trip right before we decided to move and once the weekend finally came around it felt like terrible timing to leave the city - so much so that we even tried to cancel since we knew we'd want to spend money on new things for our home and not a vacation. As luck would have it, the hotel booking was non-refundable so we made the trip and are so glad for it! After a stressful few weeks thinking about our upcoming move it was just what we needed to get out of the city and just be together. I highly recommend the gorgeous Castle Hill Inn where we stayed. We had a cozy oceanfront cottage, they served afternoon tea everyday, and all of the meals we ate there were amazing. It's a quick 3 hour drive from the city and I'm already looking forward to going back sometime!
