FFF – Free entrance to US National Parks this weekend, Lauren Merkin Sample Sale in NYC, and Jumping into the weekend

August 14, 2010

Happy Fun, Free, Friday lovelies!

Travel
Why not check out your local national park this weekend?  It’s fee free this weekend at over 100 national parks – this includes everything from Sequoia National Park in California to the FDR Historical Site in NY to the George Washington Birthplace National Monument in Virginia (some are free all year round too!)  I’d love to check out the Vanderbilt Mansion or FDR Home if I was in NY!  If you don’t have time this weekend, here is a list of other fee free times.

NYC
One of my favorite NYC sample sales ends tomorrow, Aug. 15.  It’s the Lauren Merkin sample sale and a perfect place to pick up handbags and clutches (as I mentioned here, I’ve gotten great bags as gifts for 90% off!)

The Lauren Merkin Showroom, 231 West 29th Street, Suite 201, between 7th and 8th Avenues
212.239.2459

Otherwise this weekend, we will be spending our last full day in Bali.  Hopefully I’ll get to do one of these into a pool here (the water at the beach closest to us has pretty strong currents, so not trying it there!)

We’ll be flying back soon and I already wish we had more time here.  We don’t have much planned for this weekend except unpacking, editing videos, seeing  a few friends and thinking of this.

What are you doing this weekend?

Have a fabulous week!

    So envious! I’ve always wanted to go to Bali! Hope you had a great last day and a safe flight. I wish I was in NYC for the Laura Merkin sale.

    Darn! I’m going to Acadia National Park, but I’m going AFTER this weekend because I can’t make it earlier. Darn! And it’s free, too!

    darling – I wanted you to know that I gave you a lil blog love on my site yesterday. When you offered to let me borrow your glorious veil, or head piece, for my wedding it struck a cord. That was such an insanely kind thing to offer. You are a real sweet heart. Thank you…

    I hate leaving a wonderful vacation, but it seems that all good things must come to an end. Sigh. I wish we had time to check out one of the National Parks! Have a safe flight home – can’t wait to hear all about your trip 🙂

    how awesome is that!? what a bummer we’re not on the road at the moment! (well…we bought an annual national parks pass…so it wouldn’t have really mattered.) but still…makes me want to go on a hike!

    I’m spending my weekend in Boston, although now I’m kind of wishing I were in NYC!

    Hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Bali, and have a safe trip home!
