Fall Foliage Road Trip

Adventures are our favorite!

Backdating this post a few months (currently writing from the middle of the Polar Vortex!), we had such a fun trip and an amazing introduction to a season non-existent in both Grenada and California that I just had to share.

We took a road trip through the Hudson River Valley just north of the city. We started the day with craft coffee and delicious breakfast and then spent a few hours driving through trees painted the most beautiful colors. It was sunny, bright blue skies, and the perfect crisp, chill fall air that I personally love the most. After some adventures, hiking, leave stomping, and my need to collect a leave in every color to take home – we stopped for beer and cheese plates as all date day afternoons should comprise of.




100,000 Miles!

Tyler and the Escape100,000

Later that day, after our afternoon pitstop – we hit a pretty big milestone! We hit the 100,000 mile mark on the ol’ Escape! It was such a fun moment (even more so for Tyler) and was documented with way more pictures than ever need to be taken of one car. But, we are excited to think of all the many more adventures this car will likely take us on.

Just a fun filled day with my favorite guy! Not often we get to take whole days together in the midst of our crazy schedules, so it is always a treat!

Fall in Grenada (Sort of)

So the other day it was really windy. The gently breeze is basically a constant here, but this was an unusually windy day. As I was standing outside waiting for the bus there were leaved falling from our neighbors trees and blowing everywhere. And they were even multicolored! It was like a little snapshot of fall, even if it was of the Grenadian sort. Or course, it was still 87 degrees outside and all and I am not holding my breath for any of the delicious fall treats to hit the stores (no Thanksgiving here and all – but I did find a recipe that I am going to make for pumpkin maple bacon bars!), but the leaves were fun. However, as I read friends from back home talking about their pumpkin latte’s I do miss Peet’s and Jameson Brown and Kean and all the wonderful coffee shops from back home. Tyler and I decided that over break we might just hang out in a coffee shop all day and just tell our friends to come to us. Sip yummy coffee and catch up with old friends.

Nevertheless, fall is here. Although, I am sad to report that the once colorful crunchy leaves are gone from a couple days of good ol’ Caribbean rain.

Oh, and I am one midterm down, two to go in the craziness and insanity that is exam week, so back to studying I go.  🙂
