one amazing weekend
after waking up late in a fluffy bed, we decided that the day was too beautiful to stay in the city trapped underneath shadow casting skyscrapers. we jumped in our hertz connect car (i'm making it sound much easier than it actually was...) and headed out to mendham, new jersey. nick lived in this adorable little city 7 years ago so we decided to go check things out. now i have to honest with you, after hearing so many things about new jersey (through mtv's jersey shore and bravo's real housewives of new jersey of course) i was really surprised to find out how gorgeous the drive out was to such an amazing little town, 2 towns actually. we drove into chester to find ourselves in the middle of the harvest festival. we stopped into the first coffee house we walked past to grab what turned out to be two of the most delicious tasting drinks we've had in a while. we walked up and down the main street, stopped at the publick house , and admired the shops (eh, maybe just me) while enjoying the crisp fall weather. we jumped back in the car to head out to stoney hill farm market. pumpkin patches, an oversized corn maze, and a farmers market defined this place... and it was perfect. we made one last stop, 10 yorkshire road. they must have known we would be driving past the old casa de doloresco because the house was lit up perfectly. we checked out a nearby pond to take a few pictures of the fall trees - i could have made that little gazebo home for the night, the place was right out of a book. after detouring to the pizza pub we headed back to the city.
one amazing weekend
