New Jersey Love

I've been home in NJ for the past week or so for our school break…and sadly I have to head back South tomorrow. Even though the Jerz tends to get a bad rap, I wouldn't want to have grown up anywhere else. So, in honor of all that is great about Hopewell Valley, I put together a little top 10 list of reasons why I love being home:


1. Mom's peach pie
2. Running along the canal
3. Watching the Eags with Dad
4. Being able to see the fabulous Kaity Ry for just $12
5. Jersey tomatoes
6. Kerr Farm corn
7. Lambertville (and New Hope - which should really just be considered part of NJ)
8. Terhune Orchard donuts
9. Cream King (and especially its former employees)
10. Sitting in the backyard with no one else around

Playing catch up…

Well…it's been awhile! Since wrapping up a string of family vacations and lots of lazy Sundays, I've finally caught up with all my school work…so I figured I'd try and catch up with the tfp blog as well. I thought I'd share a few photos from the highlight of my summer - my good friend/sister #2 Sarah's wedding. I think I may just have to quit school and move to Colorado…

life's a beach

Off to Bald Head for a mini-Brewster family vacation! This is one of my favorite places to be - and these are by far my most favorite people to be with. Unfortunately I'm just here for the weekend (and even more unfortunately, I have to work) but I've already squeezed in kayaking, croquet, and (of course) plenty of time reading on the beach. With a new work station set-up like this, it'll be hard to leave!
