In late September, we boarded Amtrak to New York City where we hadn't been in almost three years. Joe is originally from NYC and his family still lives there so each time we visit we try to plan something unique that his family doesn't typically don't do.We went on a Secret Food Tour in Greenwich Village, and I highly recommend this company. I found them on Trip Advisor, all comments were favorable, and I can't wait to do another tour with them.
Our family went apple picking in the fall.
It's always exciting to take a road trip to the MacKenzie-Childs Warehouse Sale and visit the Retail Store in Aurora. We made a day of it and had lunch at Fargo. It's a social event, and my hubby really enjoys chatting with the collectors that we have met over the years. We saw Patti at the retail store which was fun! I also met a lovely woman and her mom that recognized me from Instagram. We could have talked for hours!!

The food tour sounds like a fun way to enjoy NYC!! Love the photo of your camp in the snow, amazing how quickly the weather can turn. It's always fun to meet at M-C and share our finds!!You had some fun adventures!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, I admire your zest for living a full life, and applaud you for making every moment count. You are one busy lady, and it's fun to see all of these photos of what you have been doing the past few months. Wow! Thanks for sharing your adventures. You live in a beautiful part of our country. So much to see and do out and about. Your Friendsgiving weekend was especially. Lucky group!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful way to enjoy the autumn season than hiking in the northeast. Not only traveling but all the delicious food. I love you are able to visit the sales in Aurora and bump into friends. It's great how you and Joe take advantage of the great outdoors. I'm happy you got to go to NYC to visit family after years. I miss our trips there since covid but maybe another some day. Happy December Deb......
ReplyDeleteDon't you look cute! Love the snow! You and Joe do not allow grass to grow under your feet. Always on the go. Cap looks like fun. The cooking adventure looks like a blast. I am so jealous you have the MC warehouse and store close by.
ReplyDeleteDeb, you and Joe are so fortunate you live close to all the lodges where you hike and enjoy your photography in the northeast. What a wonderful way to enjoy the great outdoors. Not to mention all that delicious food! A fun gathering for your family going apple picking. I love you are close and go to shop in Aurora. How fun to see friends there too.
ReplyDeleteHappy December Deb..........
You taken so many fabulous trips this fall, and I've enjoyed them all. I didn't realize the NYC trip was a secret food tour, how fun! I loved the apple picking and your Scoots trip. The snow falling was absolutely picture perfect. And that photo of you at camp? You look SO happy. Retirement suits you very well. Happy December, Debbie!
ReplyDeleteYou've had a great fall! I would love the NYC tour....how much fun is that?!?!?! And I can't believe the snow so early in the season. I know y'all had cozy-fun :D
ReplyDeleteI really need to attend an event in Aurora. I am ready to travel now, and I want to meet my Northern Friends! BTW I love that darling photo of you!
I hope you have a lovely December and do all the Chrismtas-y things with your friends and family!
You’ve had a fun Fall, Deb! The food tour is something that I would really love. What fun you must’ve had at your Friendsgiving in your cozy cabin. Happy December!
ReplyDeleteYou always are on an adventure Deb and the food tour in NYC had to be so much fun! I love seeing all the rustic lodges and your camp, so rustic and pretty and different from anything we have in the South. And snow!! wow, you've had a lot already! Plus you are close enough to visit Aurora and go to MKC events, that is so special and it's great that Joe enjoys it too! Happy December and have a wonderful holiday with your family!

Super cute and fun pics:) Memories to last a lifetime:)
ReplyDeleteWow that snow was amazing! It became a winter wonderland for you guys. The wreath is fabulous. I can imagine how cold it was decorating though. You and Patti are so lucky to live so close to MC and to be able to meet up with so many wonderful people brought together by a love of MC. The Artisan Craft Festival looked amazing. I love that Joe has met so many people and loves talking to them too. Kirk would be the same. So nice to have such a fun husband.
ReplyDeleteI can't see that my comment posted, so hopefully this isn't a duplicate! The snow at your camp was phenomenol and I am sure besides the worry, it made it a winter wonderland for everyone. I love that wreath and can't believe you were out there hanging it in the snow! You and Patti are so blessed to live so close to MC and all of their sales and events. The Artisan Craft Festival looked amazing. All of your travels and your food tour looked so fun. I would love to try a food tour some day. As you know, I travel for food!!!
ReplyDeleteSo many fun and beautiful photos, Deb! The the beautiful fall views!
