View from Sunrise Mountain
Sussex County, NJ
October 3, 2010 |
I just love Sundays. And this past Sunday was a real treat for sure. Kyle and I took a spontaneous drive up to Sunrise Mountain in Sussex County. Not only was the drive amazing - seeing the array of fall colors as we drove up the mountain - but the view from the top was breath taking. The weather was chilly and windy, so much that I had to wear a hat most of the time, and it's only the first weekend in October. (!)
On our way back from the mountain, we stopped in a little town called Layfayette Township (yeah, it's wierd because all the towns up here are either "townships" or "boroughs"). We found a cluster of five antique shops and looked at a few of them. I love looking at antique stores - it's so cool to see the old retro stuff that reminds me of my grandparents. It's crazy to think just how much our world has changed over the years when I look at old items like washing bowl stands and turn-crank coffee grinders and oil lanterns. Speaking of lanterns, we saw several hanging lanterns from New York Co. dated from 1880 when they used to light the city. I wanted one so badly, but they were priced at $125 or more. Yikes.
Also, we found a chocolatier shop, which also housed one of New Jersey's top five
Vera Bradley "Platinumlevel" retailers. (!!!) I enjoyed looking at the new Vera colors and styles - I swear, they get cuter every season! (For those of you who don't know, I'm totally obsessed with Vera!)
