🌷 Gardens, Music & Perfect Weather - A Blissful NYC Weekend Escape

After a week of endless rain in New York, we finally got our golden weekend! ☀️ With Django's concert on Saturday night and two stunning arboretums nearby, our perfect day was set. 🌳 The Itinerary: 1️⃣ The Frelinghuysen Arboretum - Sprawling trails (though we skipped the long walks) and historic charm. 2️⃣ Washington's Headquarters Museum (3 mins away) - A quick but fascinating dive into Revolutionary War history ⏳⚔️ (Note: Closes at 4PM—we barely made it!). 3️⃣ Reeves-Reed Arboretum (15 mins drive) - Petite but packed with vibrant blooms 🌸📸. Absolute eye candy! 4️⃣ Taylor Park picnic with poke bowls 🍱🌿. 5️⃣ The Woodland for Django’s concert—where harmonicas stole the show! 🎶😍 (Front-row seats for $40? Worth every penny!) ✨ Bonus Wins: • Won $40 lottery tickets for Stranger Things: The Play—live theater magic! 🎭 • Discovered Scramble Word (the board game)—new obsession unlocked! 🎲 Why You’ll Love It: • Free entry + parking at both arboretums 🚗💨. • Reeves-Reed = compact, floral perfection. • Live music + history + games = ultimate weekend combo! 📍 Reeves-Reed Arboretum 📌 Pro Tip: Pair with a Morristown food crawl! #WeekendVibes #NYCescape #BotanicalBeauty #LiveMusic #ConcertMemories #ArboretumAdventures #StrangerThings
