Good morning week thirty five, good bye week thirty four! Today I am still recovering from the rafting trip we took on Saturday. Even though it was just a lazy river, paddling in the sun all day left me exhausted in the evening. We started our trip near the picturesque town of Frenchtown, NJ, where we stopped afterwards for food, drinks and a little bit of chair shopping. When you see the photos of the river below you might think we were the only ones floating around but it was actually quite busy on the river. We have done similar trips at a different location twice before but this time they were already booked so we chose this one instead. What a fun day, I can highly recommend it if you live near a river to explore your area from the water. Our tour took us around 4 hours, with a little pit stop at the floating hot dog stand and some lounging on a deserted island. Last night I rewired an old table lamp that I purchased at an estate sale a while back, a post about its transformation will follow soon. What were you up to this weekend? Any plans for the upcoming week? I am still working on getting the house ready for our visitors in September. And on Thursday I will see The Book of Mormon, I received it as a gift from P today and am looking forward to finally see the show.
Your rafting trip sounds awesome, and I was totally sold at "floating hot dog stand!" HELLO! It really does totally change your perspective to look at your world from the water, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteAnd BOM? Color me totally envious. I'm dying to see it, but Cal's been with us the last two times we were in NYC and it's not really Cal-appropriate! ;)
I have been wanting to see BOM for the longest time, so happy and looking forward to the show tomorrow. I'll tell you all about it after :)
DeleteRafting sounds so nice, I have once canoed on a river, first upstream as far as we had energy and then floating downstream. That was fun too.
ReplyDeleteYour lamp project reminded me that I have a similar project waiting.
Oh wow you paddled upstream, I was so happy to be able to float with the river and not have to work too hard ;) Please do share your lamp project when you have gotten the time to finish it.
DeleteFloating the river sounds Oh So nice right now, especially if you had good weather. I'm glad you had such a pleasant weekend
ReplyDeleteWe had the perfect weather for our rafting trip, not too hot or too cold. All in all a great weekend I could use more of...
DeleteWhat a fun birthday weekend! I've never been river tubing, but I would sign up just to see a floating hot dog stand :) Enjoy Book of Mormon! I want to go so badly. Maybe in a few years when the hype dies down and I can get tickets! Good on P for such a good birthday gift! xo
ReplyDeleteP did really good with his birthday gift this year. Now I have to start thinking how I can reciprocate this great idea. I am sure I'll find something ;)
DeleteHappy Birthday Nina!! Looks like you had a really fantastic birthday weekend and excellent gift to boot. Like everyone else I am pretty smitten with that floating hot dog stand. Hope the year ahead is filled with lots of great estate sale treasures for you, more adventures and everything else your heart desires xoxo!
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine! That the hot dog stand is floating makes it much cooler, right? The hod dogs are just normal hot dogs nothing fancy ;)
Deletesounds like a great weekend - and enjoy book of mormon. I heard only great things about it!!
ReplyDeleteI only heard great things about it too. I'll share my experience :)
