On Monday we started with Glynn’s dream breakfast at Dimes. And then headed to The Whitney. After the art, we took a break at The Standard for wine and snacks. We obviously had to stop at Jeffrey for a quick browse – Cam was forced to watch all the SNL skits in advance as preparation.
Our trip to New York was prompted by an invite to a friend’s birthday dinner at Blue Hill at Stone Barns – I mean, obviously we were in – and we decided to stay for a few days for some New York exploring. We had a couple meetings on the books but most of our days were free to wander, shop, and eat. Woohoo!
We took a somewhat impromptu long weekend trip to Hawaii to hang out with friends and it was maybe the best idea ever. We were lucky enough to be staying at a friend’s family home so all we had to do was book a flight. With pretty much zero planning required it was an impossible invitation to pass up. We were staying near Kona on the big island and the weather was pretty much perfect the entire time so we could make the most of our short trip.
We only had time for a quick trip for the Fourth this year but we wanted to do something that felt, you know, American. A mini road trip up the coast was just the thing.
Since this is my first review I want to start by saying that I am, in general, obsessed with the details. When I look to buy product or introduce something into my daily lifestyle, no detail, no matter how big or small goes, un-researched and un-obsessed over. Before selecting the Topo Designs Daypack, about a months research went into selecting the perfect option to accompany Glynn and I on our adventures
