my weekend

boo for mondays!  mondays are always a bit hard.  i always feel more serious on a monday.  more determined.  and life just seems more chaotic.  especially when you come off a great weekend.

i enjoyed NY to the fullest this weekend.  so much stuff squished in and a ton of fun too!  friday started like this:

it's brooklyn bridge park.  this is the view as you enter.  hello, gorgeous, right?  it really is beautiful and it makes you giddy with love.  josh went to stinky bklyn and bought a bunch of cheese and some prosciutto and a baguette.  we took that along with a nice bottle of white argentinean wine and sat on a blanket and watched the city.  it's a perfect view of downtown manhattan, the statue of liberty, and the brooklyn bridge.  and the best part is that it's about a 15 minute walk from our place.  lucky.

saturday we went to long beach for the day with some friends.  it was so relaxing.  just an hour's drive and we are able to have fun in the sun!  the water was perfect even though i'm a bit scared to swim in the ocean (sharks, jellyfish and whatnot), but i was able to dip my toes in.  we had lunch and margaritas and took naps on the sand.  as my friend john kept saying, what a great day!

and on sunday josh and i hung around the 'hood.  we went to the carroll gardens farmer's market.  check out the tomatoes!

they looked so delicious.  i seriously love tomatoes.  my friend bill brought me a bag from his garden today and i think i polished them off in 5 minutes.  a perfect snack!  anyway, we then tried some sandwiches from smith canteen and then we did what we absolutely love to do on sundays.  we had some beers at bgh and played uno.  josh kills me at uno.  we've had the same going for over 4 years now and i am losing by over 1000 points.  i still love playing though.  and playing at this fantastic bar drinking yummy craft beers is the best.  it's a perfect way to close the weekend.
