Trial Post - A Day In Brooklyn


Today we wandered Brooklyn. In an attempt to get some weekend relaxation and material for a trial post on the blog, I took a few photos of the adventure to make sure it would work. We went to Flight 001 to pick up a couple necessary items before heading down to Buttermilk Channel for brunch. I have to say it was better than anticipated, with outstanding short rib hash and pecan French toast to die for. What a treat.




We then made our way north past some beautiful townhouses in Cobble Hill where we found an amazing building and adjacent two lots for sale. It probably would cost as much to renovate but what a home that would make.

On our way home we stopped over in the Brooklyn Bridge Park, Pier 6. I quickly noticed there was a line for the ferry and made us run to take a trip over to Governor's Island. Surprisingly barren yet filled with city dwellers, we made a circle around, viewing the sights. No ice cream left unfortunately and took the ferry back home.


So fun, but we did a lot of walking. Ending the day with some fresh fettuccine, lamb sausage, tomato, and basil pasta. I would definitely eat that again. Such a great Saturday. Tomorrow: test packing and a few more things from stores not in Brooklyn. Hopefully the weather is just as amazing as today's!

I just wanted to be the first person to comment on the new blog. Very exciting. Nate, did you get any cool new lenses for the camera yet?

I have a few prime lenses that I'll be using. I'm not bringing any telephotos however, so if it's too far away then we'll just have to get closer!
