Our First Victims...I Mean Visitors

We had a fabulous Labor Day weekend with Ted & Sarah Gardiner. We walked everywhere and did a lot of fun things. Friday, Ted & Sarah arrived at 6 am. We slept until 10:30 am and then Ted, Sarah and I walked through SoHo and Little Italy and down to Ground Zero while Bill was in class. Then we met up with Bill and found a fun little restaurant in Greenwich Village for dinner and walked around a little more.

Saturday, while Bill studied, the three of us went to a matinee of Mary Poppins. It was great! Bill met us at Grand Central Station after the play and we looked around a bit. Then we headed up north to see the Columbia campus and Grant's Tomb. By then, Sarah and I were completely worn out! We finally found a great Thai restaurant called the Lime Leaf to get rejuvenated. It was delicious! After that we went to Times Square and got some dessert at the Carnegie Deli. We each chose our own and they were huge!

Sunday was a much needed "Day of Rest". After church we came back to our apartment for a little nap time. Then we went up to Central Park for a nice stroll through the park and to play our favorite board game, Pollyanna.

Monday, we met another friend, Matt Hemsley for lunch at Empanada Mama's and did some shopping and later that night, after much deliberation, Ted & Sarah went to the U.S. Open. Today, Bill and I met Ted & Sarah for lunch at Caffe Napoli in Little Italy and then I went with them to the Magnolia Bakery in Greenwich Village while Bill went back to study. We each picked a tasty treat and walked to the park along the Hudson River to enjoy. After, we headed back to the apartment so Ted & Sarah could get ready to go home.

We had such a great time and were so sad to see them go! I'm going to be so bored now!
