Exploring Your Hometown
This past weekend, Mark and I decided to get out of
our apartment and actually explore the city of Harrisburg. Every month the city
has an event called "Third in the Burg" and different vendors come
out and open up their shops later than usual for people to shop, look at art,
eat, and socialize. We met up with some friends after checking out a new bakery
and getting coffee and visited an art museum with them, then later got some ice
cream! Mark and I took a few photos from the evening and we can't wait for more
nights like these!
We ended the night by going to the top of a parking garage on City
Island and watching fireworks from the local baseball game! I think we're
starting to really like Harrisburg :)
Coffee: Elementary Coffee Co. // Natalie's dress +
Mark's shirt: H&M
// Purse: Primark (only $3!!!!!)
Then on Saturday morning, we had the pleasure of
sleeping in and going furniture shopping for our new apartment. (We are moving
a few blocks towards center city at the end of June!) We went to Elizabethtown,
PA with 2 friends, Brit and Brandon, to "explore." Now,
if you've ever seen the movie Elizabethtown you'd probably think you were gonna
visit this quaint little town and (especially in 2016) you'd think there would
be endless photo ops and cute little shops, etc. Not so much. I know it isn't
the same "Elizabethtown" but I was hoping it would be... It
downpoured the ENTIRE day. So we ran from the car to several different points
of exploration, in the hopes of finding furniture but we were not
successful.
Luckily, the day was saved when we finally grabbed
coffee at a place called Folklore. It was such a great spot, a diamond in the
rough! We played chess, chatted for nearly 2 hours, and got the most delicious
sandwiches for dinner. I got "The Sleepy Hollow" which was a drink
comprised of steamed milk, vanilla, a shot of espresso, and a sweet +
spicy tea. It was delicious! So while the day was basically
soggy + unsuccessful, it was saved by a cozy spot with good coffee and
conversation.
