NYC

For Mother's Day I took Katie to NYC for the weekend. It turns out that we and Nate and Ellete were busy that weekend so the trip actually took place just a few days ago.

The trip started out with some beer tasting. What you don't see, and what made this restaurant even better, is the bacon that came with the beer. 

We also managed to make it to Tavern on the Green. The black and grey granite may have seemed like a smart idea looks wise, but after it's been baking in the sub all day it is a tad uncomfortable (read: really hot). 

We continued our stroll through Central Park. The last time we were here was for The Gates art installation. 

Later that night we took in a free outdoor concert at the Lincoln Center. Unfortunately the piece we caught was way too out there for any of our liking. 

Saturday saw another jaunt through the city. We stopped at FAO Schwatrz and got the inside scoop from Nate and Ellete (that's where they met while both working there). We also took another stroll through Central Park.  

Saturday night was theater night. The theater district was packed. Thankfully we know someone who works on Aladdin (Ellete) so we were able to get great seats. If you're able, I highly recommend seeing the show, preferably with the current Genie. 

All-in-all it was a great weekend (if I do say so myself). Thanks to Nate and Ellete for showing us around and a big thanks to Grammie and Gramp for watching the kids while we were gone.
