Our Tales of Two Cities: Recently...

So I need to play a little catch up….

This spring and early summer we have just been hanging out in NYC enduring the April and May showers that made it seem like warm weather and summertime would never arrive. Even since the warm weather hit, it’s still pretty mild, but I’m not complaining since our AC situation isn’t ideal.

-we went to Richmond for Easter…squeezed in a visit with Tina and Joey on the way down and had a great warm VA spring weekend relaxing with my parents. Nick also played his first round of golf for 2011 J

Cole and I hanging out on my parents lawn in Richmond...he loves the grass!

-went down to DC for my friend from college, Allison and her fiancé, Jared’s engagement party. Very fun to see all my college girlfriends, plus we stayed with Tracy and Joe and got to hang out with them and their cute little dog Charlie and saw our crazy guy friends as well…it was good to be back in Arlington for a bit.

Kappa Delta sisters from VT...been friends since 2001 :)

Side note…these VA trips make me kind of homesick. Coming to NYC was not only a career move for me and Nick, but it was a “we’re not sure where we want to live and settle down” move. So we came to a big city to have fun and figure it all out. Missing VA, having space, and being near friends and family hit us like a ton of bricks this spring…going back is really nice, but makes me a bit sad at the same time.

-My girlfriend from college, Natalie, came to NYC for her friend's bachelorette party and came up early for a bonus night with me! We had great night out in the city...drinks on the balcony, Italian dinner, crepes, (i've been dying to try this one crepe stand!!) seeing a band at a bar on Bleecker street and a rooftop club....we crammed a lot in that Thursday night!

yummy nutella and banana crepe!

-went to Boston for a work related weekend and had a great time at the Sam Adams brewery having a clam and lobster bake and went to the Red Sox – Cubs game. We also got to see our friends Trace and Natalie who we always have too much fun with and little Caroline, Andy and Shannon. Nick hadn’t seen C since Christmas, so it was a fun visit.

Cubs game at Fenway...they haven't played each other since 1918!

-Memorial Day Weekend was very exciting! Andy, Shannon and Caroline came for a big visit to NYC. J It was Caroline first trip and she did great! She is such a low key, easy baby so she just snoozed in her stroller seat while we ate at great restaurants and got in some quality time. She was awake for the ground zero tour and the fun visits to Bryant Park and FAO Swartz….where she loooved all the soft stuff animals.
