This is my favorite time of the year, the labor day weekend which typically coincides with my husband's b'day and our anniversary.
The last two years we have been out traveling and visiting new places. This year we decided to take it easy coz of the new house. But we managed to have a fun weekend.
I baked a cake for hubby and gifted him brookstone's feet massager. He wasn't expecting it and was so thrilled. Also got him a mushy card :-). My hubby gifted me a lovely jewelry case. I so love it :-))).
On Saturday we went to the Bear mountain state park in New York. It was an hour away from Danbury. The drive itself wasn't too spectacular. But as we reached the mountains and drove up, the views were truly worth it.
Bear mountain is located on the Western bank of the Hudson river. Being a weekend the park was crowded. We found parking easily though and walked up to the picnic area. We sat on the banks of the scenic Hessian lake. Had a good time but then it got so hot that we came running back home.
Anniversary day was lovely too. It was my little one's maiden trip to New York city. We went by train so the trip was very peaceful. Hubby and I lunched at Mario Batali's Eately on 5th avenue. The market has some amazing food and I just managed to stop myself from shopping :-). They had an exclusive vegetarian restaurant and we had this amazing gnocchi cake and fresh mozzarella sandwich with minestrone soup. Had a lovely lovely day.
Looking forward to a lovely year ahead.
