In the spirit of celebrating my birthday for a whole week, we rented a car and decided to take a day trip out of the city on Saturday. We drove up Palisades parkway to New York's Bear Mountain and explored a few trails up there and then spent the rest of the day heading wherever the wind blew us.
Highlights
*Finding tacos and horchata in Newburg (a sad little town in the Hudson River valley).
*Taking my first sip of Diet Coke in 13 days.
*Realized I was craving seltzer water with lime - what??
*Driving in a car and stopping for treats at the gas station.
*Getting into a verbal altercation with la jefe at Sam's Lookout after letting ourselves into the park - and losing.
*Subsequently finding a pretty lookout and deciding we wouldn't let her ruin our trip.
*Taking lots of pictures of my #malemodel husband.
*Realizing all our photos taken with the tripod are blurry.
*Austin wearing his 10 year old Eagle High School sweatshirt that I tease him about.
*Arriving 3 minutes after Poughkeepsie's pedestrian bridge closed, then ending up at a delicious local creamery after both Dairy Queen and Rita's were closed.
*Not caring that things were closed and photos were blurry because all we wanted was a day out of the city to enjoy spending time with each other.
