And the rest of it…

And you thought all we did was hang out a Lincoln Center?!!  Oh no, not a moment of my precious kid-free time was wasted .  We caught a live taping of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, soaked in the sights of the Brooklyn Bridge, enjoyed authentic pierogies (sweet potato and cheese) and borscht at a little restaurant called Little Poland.  (please tell me you all have tried pierogies?)  We were all over town…Columbus Circle, East Village, Diamond District, Mid Town, Canal St., Soho and the Upper West Side.  And we shopped (obviously), ate square pizza and made Clive take us home in his pedicab!  Whew!

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

When summer arrives in New York…..New Yorkers arrive in the Hamptons. We had heard so much about the gorgeous Hamptons that we had to check it out for ourselves. We headed out to Montauk…the very tip of the island……and I fell in love! We spent the weekend walking along incredible beaches, checking out cute little shops, listening to the older men talking about their fishing adventures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I loved checking out the surfers early in the mornings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I loved finding the small candy stores and buying taffy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I loved the crackle of the ocean waves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I loved the small town attitude and youthful atmosphere to the town.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I loved finding another interesting and unique part of New York.

poutine and such…

I spent a week in Alberta after my sister’s graduation in Saskatchewan (pictures of the gorgeous graduate are on the way!)…and I found some of my favorite things that I can’t enjoy in New York.

While in Lethbridge I had to check out the giant second-hand store Value Village (I also love searching for a bargain!), poutine at Red Dog Diner, coffee at the Penny Coffee House, giant jacked up 4×4 trucks, the famous high level bridge, sushi nights with Wayne’s family, my chubby nephew Daxon, my beautiful niece Danika, aaaaand Pita Pit….sooo not fair that we don’t have one!!

Street Machine Weekend was on in Lethbridge while we were there. This lady cracked me up….

Ahh…Vacation! Sorry if the blog has been a little slow the past few weeks. We have been enjoying time by the pool, by the BBQ and a lot of time avoiding mosquitoes! The WHOLE Petays family -along with husbands, kids and some cousins were able to all get together and it was an absolute BLAST!!!

Here’s a few fun shots from Saskatchewan.

Melissa and I have done a few fun shoots together which we will post once we get home….its been a blast to be creative together and see what we come up with!
