Millbrook via ronsaari.com

A few years ago I went on a rafting trip to the Delaware River Gap. It was the first time I’d ever been in this part of New Jersey and I remember distinctly loving the little town of Millbrook Village. The area has become another second home destination for harried New Yorkers because it is super easy to get to (only about 1.5 hours from the city) and oozing with the rustic charm of upstate.

I’m going up to the Delaware River Gap again this weekend with BC, my cousin Em and her boyfriend Ian for a belated/early birthday celebration (belated for Ian, early for me.) We’re staying farther north, in the upper Delaware River, and it’s going to be a lovely, relaxing trip which ends with brunch at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. I cannot wait!

Have a great weekend!
