Easter Weekend

Hello everyone! Once again I have neglected my blog posts! I always wish to have a least two to three posts a week but in reality, school, work, and life just take precedent sometimes. This weekend I left DC to head back to New York! My boyfriend and I got in the car and took a road trip to Long Island to spend the holiday with his family. As most of you already know, I also live in New York but my family was currently out of town so it just made sense to celebrate Easter in Long Island and make some new fun traditions.

We headed out of the city Thursday evening and got in very late. Although we were exhausted we had all day Friday to relax and do whatever we wanted to do. With that being said, I dragged my boyfriend to Lord and Taylor! I’ve been on the hunt for a few dresses! On Friday Lord and Taylor was having an excellent sale! The entire store was 25% off and when you checked out the register took off another $20! It was such a good deal and I purchased everything I needed. Stay tuned for a future blog post about these items! We also decided to hit up all of our favorite food locations! New York really does have the best pizza and bagels! 

On Saturday my boyfriend, his family, and I decided to do something different yet fun! We headed to the North Fork, which is where Long Island houses the majority of their wineries. Wow oh wow did we have a fun time! We went to about three different wineries, one brewery, and a sparkling wine location. At each place we tried different flights, enjoyed the scenery outside, and made a few purchases. My favorite locations were the Pindar winery. Not only was the wine delicious but also the outside scenery was beautiful. We packed lunches and ate on the wineries deck, which over looked the grape trees. Sparkling Pointe was also another favorite location of mine! Sparkling Pointe focused on sparkling wine. I love anything bubbly so the different drinks really suited my palate. This location was also beautiful and the pictures do not do it justice!

After a full day of drinking and eating delicious foods, we were all looking forward to a relaxing Easter holiday. We attended a lovely mass, went on an Easter run, and cooked food for the majority of the day. It was a lot of fun to wind down and reflect on the holiday. Although I was not with my immediate family I was grateful that my boyfriend and his family welcomed me with open arms this weekend.

Overall it was a fantastic weekend! As much as I love DC I also love and miss New York. I am looking forward to going back again soon! I hope you all also had a fantastic Easter weekend!

Cheers,
