If anyone was wondering how my Long Island North Fork adventure turned out here are a few highlights.
1. DRIVING!! The longest trip I've driven to date. about 2 1/2 hours there (Got lost in New Jersey for half an hour). An hour or so around and in North Fork. and 3 hours back. Everything went smoothly until I whipped around in horror back to the parking garage where my car was parked, headlights a-blazing. I KNEW I'd do that. Of course I had dropped the keys in the after hours drop box three minutes earlier.
2. Getting to Pindar Vineyard only to be told that the sunflowers we had traveled out so far to see had already bloomed and died and got razed the day before (I have a funny feeling that we should have checked to make sure...funny feeling)
3. Petting goats at the random of random goat farms NYMag suggested we check out. I have absolutely NO idea it was a feature.
4. Eating New England clam chowder. YUM
5. Taking a long, sunny nap on Kenney Beach after said clam chowder (parked at East Elbow, as the parking along the beach is all permit parking) and watching a family catch mini fish with a big o' net.
6. Treating ourselves to Mattituck's finest ice cream and Home of the Magic Fountain. Fun flavors to try: Goat cheese (it's like sweet cold goat cheese), avocado coconut, honey cinnamon
7. Getting out of the city for the day and exploring something new
Adventures on the horizon: well besides attending my first ever bachelorette party (woot), camping!! I have my tent, sleeping back, pad, mosquito repellent...need a fishing pole. Suggestions for a location would be appreciated.
