A great friend got married near Ithaca, New York last weekend, and Scott and I had the pleasure of celebrating with her and her now-husband. It was gorgeous, with fall leaves everywhere and the general awesomeness of small towns and new places. As per usual, I forgot to take pictures of the trip. I’m sorry! …
Epic Ravioli
Scott was a pro at picking the best local food throughout our honeymoon. I picked whatever my carb-loving heart desired, but he consistently ordered the local specialty everywhere we went.
