A Little More October Please?

So as you may have noticed, the lovely month of October zoomed past at lightening speed. We closed the month with a nasty hurricane and then just like that - it became November.

I'm not quite ready to accept the impending reality of winter, not just yet. Just a few more colorful leaves please? Leave the green grass for another week or two? Here a few last looks at October - taken the weekend before the hurricane. 

(I sure hope that nor'easter threat is a lie . . . )

Some leaves. Some grass too.

A few lemons for good measure.

Vanping (Camping in Style)

Friday night post-work we decided it would be fun to go camping at the Delaware Water Gap (border of NJ and PA - our go-to campground). The campground is about an hour away and always a nice getaway. This particular Friday night it was raining. Rain would generally hamper NORMAL camping trips but us - we don't camp, we van-camp. Or 'vanp'. . . Vanping is the most recent manifestation of the action. Vanping is SO much better than traditional tent camping because you stay dry, don't have to set up (and take down) a wet or dirty tent, and you don't have to sleep on rocks. Basically, you get to sleep in the outdoors without all the fuss of bear or dirt. It's a win-win.

This little weekend jaunt was classed up with olives, wine, cheeses, prosciutto, and delicious bread. The best camping meal, right? In the morning we woke up to birds, sunlight, and beautiful leaves - this was followed by a 4.5 mile run through the campground (along the river I might add) pastries and freshly brewed (french press) coffee. Despite the fact that we forgot our camping stove and had to use a blow torch to heat up the water for the coffee, it was an absolutely idyllic morning. I highly suggest Vanping if you have a van to do it in :-)

Saturday Adventures

Last saturday we spent the day in the city - part fun (for me), part work (for Zack) and big part photo taking. We delivered tea cups to a tea shop (yup) in Greenwich village (a favor for one of his colleagues), had amazing fish and chips from A Salt and Battery, and ventured to Queens to fix a client's home. I rode in the passenger seat and took a bajillion photos. It was a perfectly gorgeous day - and so much fun! Hope you enjoy . . .

The best fish and chips. Ever. Go there.
