A Saturday Stroll through the Park

Saturday Wes and I decided we needed to finally get over to the Botanical Gardens in Central Park (everyone has been raving about them). I think we happened to go on an in between flower day because there weren't many flowers, but plenty of places for them.
Our plan was to go to the gardens and then take the bus down to lunch on 51st. We ended up loving the park that we walked the whole way! We kept to the East side (where we don't go much) so we got to see a lot of new parts of the park!! Here are some pictures from our adventure.

At least there was a ton of green!


Super pretty archway with vines all through it



The Reservoir 

Probably our favorite find throughout the walk

A fun sailing pond!

I enjoyed the boats





I love the people in the park



On our way to lunch we decided to stop by Nike town to check out the new jerseys. They sure do look nice. 

All in all, we had very sore feet when we made it back home but it was all worth it, especially since today it is a complete downpour with no break in sight.

On a totally separate note, we had more exciting news for the weekend...we bought our plane tickets to Peru! My vacation time at work was approved and we wasted no time. We are in for a very exciting adventure for Thanksgiving!
