We started the day off right, with old school jam sessions in the car and donuts from Dunkin, leaving at 11AM on the dot: just as planned. The weather was beautiful, the wind was powerful, and $40 later, the gas tank was full.
An hour went by and we successfully arrived in the land of Oz without a care (or a GPS). First stop: Port City Cafe & Bakery for paninis and Snapple. This place was full of chalkboards, friendly faces and Kandinsky paintings. I had a "Presto Pesto" and a happy stomach. Then we met up with an old friend, much like a stranger to us now, at a cute little hippie shop next door: Midnight Sun. It was full of accessories, colors, room decor, clothes, and other little knick-knacks that consumed Kelsey and I from the second we walked in. Me, being the princess that I like to pretend I am, fell in love with a necklace with a carriage and one glass slipper dangling off the end of the gold chain. But what is Oswego without buying a headband? So that's exactly what I did.
Spontaneity and uncertainty led us to the fort, where we climbed trees and fireplace look-a-likes and took lots of photos by the lake. But walking around town in a dress in such a cool Spring breeze wasn't necessarily the wisest thing we could have done, so we ended up at John's house before too long, visiting with his mother and eating peanut butter cups.
Then, we took the Jedi (Star Wars) kite to the park and I flew a kite for the first time, documenting the entire experience. Swing sets, acrobats, slide races, and befriending an 8 year old asian boy on the playground was also present during this time.
Freezing, Kels and I ventured off to our favorite little coffee shop: The Coffee Connection. I had the Poet's Eye and a brownie, both too delicious for words.
Conquering the trenches of the breakwall, nearly making it to the lighthouse but not quite (out of fine wisdom), running, screaming, singing, jumping, and watching the sunset off of Lake Ontario was a beautiful end to a beautiful day.
Bruises and scrapes on my knee are a result, but a well worth it one.
