I have fallen behind and instead of going back 2 weeks worth and catching you up to date, Ive decided to skip the last 2 weeks entirely. Vanished. Gone. Never existed. As I type the words I know I'm basically full of shit. We all know Ill start and inevitably begin writing about how the 4th of July holiday weekend spent in Saratoga was uneventful yet, relaxing. That last weekend we took a spontaneous trip to the beach with the girls (the girls here referring to Paris and her bestie). How we finally spent the day on Sunday chatting, sushi creating and hanging at the girls house (the girls HERE referring to MY bestie and her W2B). Anyhow, there was still plenty of food snapshots and playful pics to fill a blog post. Instead of overwhelming you though, I thought Id summarize by way of said pictures. A blog by photo! What could be better?!
Circa 2 weeks ago...there was farmers market food, walking, talking and sunshine in the park. Saratoga is by far one of our favorite resting spots on earth. The market was especially fortunate for us this time around. Although we have already experienced the delicious vegan friendly food that is the gentlemen duo of Vital Eats, this time around their lunchbox inspired us to inquire about a certain catering job we need to hire for come next June. As it turns out, they do. And they will! We have started the ball rolling by email and phone with these culinary masters, of not only palate pleasing health food but, gorgeous plates of art! We are so very excited to be able to spread the word about the Vital Eats business and to share the goodness with our special guest list next year. Be sure to check them out, either by way of Facebook page, website or (what i highly recommend) stopping by their market table at Saratoga Famers Market. Go for the lunch box! You get a taste of a few choices all in one cute little to-go.

During this trip we wandered to the opposite end of Henry Street and discovered the memorial that was designed by Saratoga Arts using steel from the World Trade Center. A truly breathtaking site.
If you've never tried the natural springs of Saratoga, its a must. Depending on which you stumble upon, there are highly sulfur-esque ones (aka smelly rotten water...but good for you!) and this mineral one. A much less intense, mild spring that to me is like drinking Pellegrino from a fountain. Yum! Very cool little part of Saratoga Springs and refreshing too! Check out this handy guide to the
Once we landed back home the days continued on like a typical week for us. Food, family time and fun. As well as a friend or two. And now, a story by way of photos.
