Last day in Buffalo, NY
✨ Our Last Day in Buffalo, NY ✨
We kicked things off at Tim Hortons (because everyone said we had to try it)… honestly, I wasn’t that impressed 😅.
After that, we wandered around Elmwood Village and popped into some of the cutest little shops (I’m such a sucker for small-town spots 💛). Our first stop was The Flower Garage, where we ended up chatting with the sweetest owner. Then we found another shop that had a cat hanging out inside (I can’t remember the name, but it was adorable).
We had to stop at Watson's Chocolates for sponge candy 🍫 and browsed through a super cool record/music store, (Revolver Records). Before heading back, I wanted a little souvenir, so we went to Buffalo exchange street station where I picked up this cozy sweater. Sadly, my cats’ claws don’t let me wear it often 😭.
The next morning, we had an early flight with a layover in Chicago, so we made the most of my United Club passes before heading home ✈️.
So thankful I got to spend time with my bestie, and I can’t wait to visit her again soon! 💕
