"we are going to sit in giant teacups & spin round in circles until we puke"
we underestimated the heights of this famous wooden roller coaster until we both found ourselves screaming the whole way down.

having reservations at butter later that night we thought we wouldn't have dessert with dinner, until we were brought the per lei dessert menu...
warm almond & apple tartlet served with vanilla gelato was served with a candle & song from our sweet argentinian waiter within minutes.
after a quick beer {and 2 complimentary birthday shots} at josie woods pub, we finally made it to butter. the name says it all. mary & i shared the rasberry beignets with a vanilla dipping sauce which we paired with a dessert wine suggested by our cheery server. after letting her know it was my big day, she brought us our 3rd dessert of the day {as if we needed it!}. little pieces of red velvet cake sprinkled with some sort of fantasticly edible glitter topping.
fabuluous way to end the night :)
lucky 21
this view of the brox from yankee stadium at sundown also reminded me a little of france for some reason.
for only 21 years, i'd say i've been a pretty lucky girl.

country come to town.
organic eggs.
i've never noticed if peonies are very prevelant in the south, but they seem to be the big apple's stylish flower of choice.
but still, a hint of the city remains.
