Summer trip part 2- Brooklyn and NYC
One of the best parts of our trip back east was time we spent in Brooklyn visiting etsy headquarters. We stayed in Ft. Greene which was a very lovely neighborhood and got to visit with local friends. Etsy is an amazing place, everyone was so friendly and welcoming the vibe was incredible, we enjoyed eating lunch with the staffers and got to meet some great people.

Summer trip part 1- Philadelphia
This summer we went to Philly and NYC for some family time and a fun trip to Brooklyn to visit etsy headquarters. These pictures are from our time with family in Philadelphia. It was so nice to experience east coast living again, taking public transportation everywhere and enjoying the greenness of it all.
