But not to worry, every year fall takes some time to remind me just how lovely it really can be.
Eric and I had a great fall weekend this past weekend. We started things off with a trip to Times Square on Saturday, to see a big Mario Bros. event they had set up. (Okay, that has nothing to do with fall, but let's just roll with it.) They were giving out free ears and tails and had a big course you could go through, just like you were in the game. Of course, it was insanely crowded (duh, it's Times Square) and the line to go through the course was probably a solid two-hour wait. So, we snapped a couple of photos and moved on with our lives.

From there we walked over to Bryant Park, which is already switched over for the cold-weather months: the grassy lawn has been replaced by the ice-skating rink, and the holiday shops are already lining the walkways. Eric and I did some browsing in the shops, which is something I enjoy every year. Bryant Park is definitely my favorite park, year-round.

I loved the little "dinosaur kid" (it's a mannequin, don't be fooled like I was) set up in front of that shop!
On Sunday, Eric and I went back into the city to Central Park to wander around and check out some fall foliage. We were not disappointed.
Wow! Now that's colorful!

Baby's first fall, of sorts?

I mean, honestly. Those colors are insane.

As you can tell by the canoodling couple in this shot, it was rather romantic.
Pretty, pretty
Such a great way to spend the afternoon together!
And Fall, I'm sorry I'm mad at you every year when you start to show up. You're really not all that bad.

What a nice fall you guys have! Love all the pictures of you in the park with your baby bump soooo adorable :-)
I love your pictures! I have a picture of that bridge from our trip, only it's very green (although I think I like it better with the autumn leaves). I don't blame you for not loving fall. I would never be able to last in the cold and snow
It looks perfect!
I'm pretty sure I would've waited ALL DAY to play in the Mario land! Question - how do you take pictures together if it's just the two of you? We have the SLR but I never break it out because I feel awkward asking a stranger! But -- I NEED a Christmas picture and will have to break down and get someone to take it for us.
Awww your pictures are so so pretty!! Fall looks absolutely gorgeous there! And you and hubby look so happy - I love that y'all are really focusing on the "just us" time :)
:) Awe! What a perfect day!
