It's a Botanical Garden Ripe Fest type of day!

Today Mr. Parks and I *rushed* to attend the Cleveland Botanical Garden's Ripe Fest (remember the tickets I won to this tremendous culinary event?) We arrived and it was delightful. We purchased homemade maple syrup and delectable little cupcakes, walked around clicked some photos and were off.. You see we are partaking in The Akron Marathon Relay bright and early tomorrow morning so unfortunately we had to bypass the wine tasting tent..I wanted to die..I'm infatuated and light weight in love with wine.. So.. I pouted.. the entire way home.. Mr. Parks did remind me that this event is 3 days long so.. there's still a chance for us to enjoy the festivities if we make it through tomorrow's jaunt.. stay tuned.. and wish us LUCK.. Today I'm sporting: Black Shrug-Say What?!/ Silk Black/Red Cream paisley top-The Limited/ Medium wash blue jeans-Mossimo-Target for a whopping $4.98/ Black bubble necklace-Express/ Black stilleto boots-Ms Behaven-Nine West
