Sunday

Sunday morning we slept in, packed, and left the hotel. We took a cab to our next hotel in the city called the Le Parker Meridien. It was a very nice hotel and we had a very big room and the biggest shower I've ever been in!! I kept thinking how much the kids would have loved to play in that shower! I know I did!!! We dropped our bags in the room then went downstairs to this awesome restaurant in the hotel. It looks like a little hole-in-the-wall place but it's in this fancy hotel! It's called The Burger Joint and we each had a juicy cheeseburger. Num. After being recharged by the food we wandered around for a while and found a Pink Berry to have some frozen yogurt. We had it with blackberries and Fruity Pebbles. It was delicious! We shopped around, went to Chelsea Market and back to a Brooklyn Industries where we spent even more money on cool clothes (Andy bought a button-down shirt with blue pigeons on it...trust me, it's cool). We figured there might be a street market going on at Union Square so we went to check that out and I'm glad that we did! We have a couple of pictures up on a wall in our staircase that we don't really love and have been looking for something else to replace them, and we found a beautiful print that is colorful and I think will look great. I'll take a picture of it when Andy brings it home and post it.

There is a little place called Pommes Frittes that sells only French Fries with about 30 different dipping sauces and is SO yummy. We snacked on that before we headed to our friend Sarah's apartment to visit and bake cookies. Sarah moved to NY from Utah about 2 months ago and lives in a great little apartment......except it's 5 bloody floors up!! No elevator!! I guess the exercise is good for me! We talked and baked my chocolate chip cookies for all the guys at Neovest (and James) and then went to the Delta Grill for dinner. It's a southern restaurant which I generally don't enjoy, but I had some terrific Mac and Cheese there and everything else we tried was delicious. We caught a cab, took Sarah back to her apartment and headed back to our hotel.
I have to add.......the weather thus far has been great.....and it only gets better!!
