Our weekend with the Smiths went a little something like this...
Thursday:
Janey, Bruce, Lily, and Nihl arrived from DC. If you have ever driven from DC to NYC with two little ones then you know why we ordered in (delicious Thai from Song) and spent the evening having wine and catching up and up and up and up.
Friday:
Had breakfast at Chez Jordan before walking across the park to Prospect Park Zoo. There were meerkats, wallabees, even bearded turtles. No, that is not some crass sailor slang, that is Brian as illustrated above. Watching the sea lions eat made us hungry so we had dinner at Rosewater and then finished the night with ice cream from Uncle Louie's. Everyone should watch a 3-year old eat an ice cream cone at least once in their lives. It might be as good as eating ice cream yourself. Almost.
Saturday:
Deja vu! Breakfast at our place again, but this time with bacon. Then we shopped around the Slope before Brian and I had to load gear for the show. We made our way to Chelsea Market to play music, drink beer, and marvel at the ability of freaky facial hair to warrant an entire photography exhibit. Congratulations to Dave for organizing a super cool event. I think I even saw a D-list model and that means something in NYC. Lastly, we had drinks and a midnight snack at the Maritime Hotel before calling it a day.
Sunday:
After hooting with the owls we had trouble soaring with the eagles. Brunch was finally had around 3pm at Building on Bond followed by a stroll down Smith St. with cappuccinos from Cafe Luluc to keep us going. We ordered in Aunt Suzie's for dinner which was our first experience. It was quite yummy and traveled surprisingly well for Italian food. We were all sad to say good-bye but the real life show must go on. All in all, a very lovely visit was had by all.
