New York

I went to New York last weekend with some of the Henriod girls and I loved every second.  I am so lucky my in-laws are the best.  I am hoping that Mitch will get a job in New York, so I can fulfill my life long dream of living in New York.  

While in New York we:

Went to the Tenement Museum

Ate at Clinton Street Bakery

Walked the High Line

Ate at Dount Plant

Ate at Gramarcy Tavern, a Henriod favorite

Saw Porgy and Bess

Went on a Circle Line Tour, totally enjoyable

Went running

Ate Levain Cookies

Saw Newsies

Late night Shake Shack run

Spent more time than I ever would want to in Time Square

Ate a Gotham Bar & Grill, best beet salad

Went shopping

Saw Once

Met Steve Kazee

Ate Churros from La Churreria

Saw the filming of Smash

Fishs Eddy

and took the train home

It was the perfect New York trip. 

Clinton Street Bakery, delicious blueberry pancakes.

Donut Plant.  Amazing.

I want to be a Newsie.

Levain Bakery, the cookies are amazing.

Statue of Liberty with Abby.

Steve Kazee, lead singer from Once.  I was so excited to meet him.  

Lindsay, Abby, Shelley and me.

Happy Birthday Mitch!

We finished celebrating Mitch's birthday this past week, here's how...

Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream.  First of the season.

Trifle,  Mitch's favorite dessert.

Happy Birthday Mitch.  I love him so much.

Mitch turned 29 on Wednesday, we are getting so old!  We celebrated by eating at Pupatella, it's just as delicious as Punch in the Twin Cities, and ended the night with Trifle.  I love Mitch so much and I can't imagine my life without him.

 Our weekend update:

DC Temple.
(We don't know the people in the picture, just happened to be standing there.)

Baby Sam and Shelley.
We are going to be so sad when Shelley leaves this week.
We are obsessed with Baby Sam.

Weekend project #1.
I finally recovered our chairs with the help of Shelley and Abby.
Can you tell which one is new?

Project #2.  Still working on hanging up pictures 13 months after we moved in.

Besides projects and holding babies, we had a sleepover with Abby, Jason, and Shelley - I felt like I was 10 and loved it, ate a lot of food, and got caught in an awesome/terrible/typical DC rain shower.  We are really good at eating, we went to eat brunch at the Carlyle in Shirlington and I took Abby and Shelley to the Dairy Godmother in Del Ray.  It was a fabulous weekend.

Happy Monday. 

Weekend Update

Our weekend was quick and fabulous.  

Here is our life in photos.

Cafe Rio Burrito.  Delicious.

Air & Space Museum with Mitch's Parents.

Baby Sam.  I am obsessed with him.  

Miss Mary Kate.

Day 1 of Mitch's Birthday week.  Dinner at Founding Farmers.

Day 2 of Mitch's Birthday week.  "True" Homemade shortcake, according to Shelley.

Watching mission videos.  Love this video of Jenna.

Mission happiness.  Remember how I gained 30 pounds on my mission?  Totally worth it.
