We saw the ever enchanting Fab Faux on Saturday night and will be there again this Thursday for Madame Butterfly and again later this month for Avenue Q. Also contemplating tickets to the just announced David Crosby & Graham Nash show in May.

Combine a show at this stunning little gem with dinner at one of Easton’s awesome restaurants and an overnight stay at The Lafayette Inn. A great romantic getaway!

On a recent sunny, warm afternoon we drove up to the trail along the Lehigh Gorge near Jim Thorpe, PA. This flat, fabulously maintained trail is wide and comfortable on foot or bike. The views of the river and surrounding hills are wonderful. Lena was ready to tackle the full 32 miles but Paul and I gave up after just two or three. We will definitely go back for cross country skiing and summer trekking.
