It was so gorgeous this past weekend, when I was home in NY. I hadn't been to the PepsiCo sculpture gardens in 5 years so we decided to head on over. The sculptures are on the grounds of the PepsiCo company, yes, that pepsi (and frito lay, gatorade, and someone else). There headquarters is in Purchase are on some stunning grounds and there are these amazing sculptures all around - it's totally free to go an walk around!
