It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
.
.
.
Include a visit to Longwood Gardens near Philly to get your ho ho ho on. The Conservatory features 20 oh my gosh holiday themed rooms.
.
.
.
Plus the food and drink are awesome. Check out the stew made with famous Kennett Square mushrooms and drafts brewed with hothouse fruits. Try the Cherry Oatmeal Stout! Trust me.

Room with a view...
.
@HawksCayResort lanai rooms overlook serene water features like the (heated!) pool and lagoon.
.
Best of all, they have large decks with loungers. One’s calling my name.
.
The resort’s looking good after a $50 million post-Irma renovation. Same friendly service I enjoyed on two prior visits. You can go home again.

It’s all relative....

I’ll never complain about my weight again. I’d be nearly 2 TRILLION pounds if home was a neutron star.

So many fun facts learned at the American Museum of Natural History today. Did you know that the lyrics are true? We really are stardust...created out of a nebula cloud. Thank you, @jonimitchell_official .

That’s the name of this sculpture, one of more than 100 that dot the 500 acres at Storm King Art Center.

Fall’s the perfect time to visit, but go early. They expect 6,000 guests on beautiful autumn days, like today. Did you get outside? #hudsonvalley #hudsonriver #nylovesfall #autumncolors #fallcolors #fallfoliage #outdoorart #naturesbeauty #greatoutdoors #artscene ...

So very serene.

I was a nervous wreck during the hours leading up to my daughter’s wedding. But watching her glide through the getting ready, put me at ease. .
.
.
Big thank you to @beautybycherise for helping the bridal party put on the pretty. First time for me wearing false eyelashes - such fun!

Programs?! Programs?!
.
.

3 days before the wedding, the details of the ceremony were finalized. So, I headed off to our local craft store and picked up medium weight card stock, a small single hole punch, ribbon and stickers. Oh. And a paper crease to help make crisp folds.
.
.
.
Employing 3rd grade crafting skills, I knocked these out in no time. What? Me worry? .

Do you know the way to San Jose?
.
.
.
The city’s changed so much since I started visiting back in 2007. Hotel prices have soared thanks to Silicon Valley tech money. Finding an affordable, yet elegant, place to stay to begin our week-long wedding adventure was a challenge.
.
.
.
Fortunately, my daughter found the @hayesmansion, an historic hotel that, until recently, was owned by the City of San Jose. It’s scheduled for a $15 million upgrade by new owners. Can’t wait to see it after the reno!
.
.
.
Built in 1905, it’s a magnificent estate property tucked away in a suburban neighborhood. I stole some precious quiet time in the mornings (#calmbeforethestorm), with my coffee on a secluded terrace surrounded by lush tropical foliage. Thank you to the friendly and efficient group reservations team, especially Frances and Rona, who facilitated our stay. .
