Catch Up Fast!

Verrazano Bridge and cannon

     Again, I have fallen a bit behind on my blogging!  But to defense, these past couple of weeks have been crazy full of friends, family, food, and exploration!

     Two weekends ago my cousin got married and so my Mom, Dad, and Sister came into town.  It was so great to see my whole family again and we had a blast at the wedding.  My cousin got married at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn, with the beautiful Verrazano Bridge in the background.

     My sister and I did many fun things in the City, but some of the highlights include paddle board yoga, Russ & Daughters Cafe, and cruising around the Hudson on the North River Lobster Company boat.

     On Sunday night I took her and a few of her friends around Chelsea and then we ended the night at Salvation Taco.  While the roof deck is small up there, the view and atmosphere are pretty amazing.

     I had a wonderful weekend with the best sister in the world and got to try out some new activities and restaurants along the way!

Gone to Carolina

This summer, as soon as tickets for James Taylor went online for sale, my Dad and I jumped on them and bought the best seats available. We have been looking forward to this concert ever since we got the confirmation e-mail for our purchase. When I found out that the concert fell on the same day as W&L's coveted Fancy Dress, I could care less, I was going to see James Taylor live!

Although I was a surprised when his son Ben took the stage with him, I ended up enjoying his music as well. Ben Taylor has a voice similar to his father, but his music has a more jazz/bohemian feel to it--I recommend checking him out if you are interested.

If you get a chance to see JT in concert, buy a ticket, he is definitely worth the money.
