weekend getaway to nyc!

governors island is the little island right next to manhattan - just a quick (and free!) ferry ride away. me and joshy went to explore and exploit the free-bike-rental friday, but the line was like 10 miles long, so we walked around the island. and there's this super tacky palm tree that i just fell in love with after i saw 3 elderly asian women freak out and take their picture next to it. i had to do it, too.

riding the ferry from manhattan to g.i.

joshy a.k.a. "george"
la la la, i love vacation!
we had such a fun, albeit short, trip to nyc. took the 6am friday train to nyc, had a short rest in central park, then TH to work, me to explore. I walked around boehrum hill, prospect heights, and park slope. Then met joshy at keste pizza and we set off the explore governors island. Later TH met up with me and we had dinner and reconvened with joshy to watch a movie on his roof! It was quite the fun get together.

watched persepolis and snuggled with all my nyc besties. love them. miss them!!

saturday was shopping all over town to find duds for the lawn party this sunday. TH found some great stuff and i scored a cute dress. we had lunch in the park by the flatiron with friends and an early dinner with fondue and mark's friends, then 9pm train back to dc!

fun weekend. very fun.

i also found the best black and whites thus far in nyc: nussbaum and wu's. i walked by that place every day for a year and had no idea.

i can't wait to visit again. i just love that city.

looks like love. i need to go back.

and if josh's roof is still his roof on 108th, that is the roof where my husband and i had our very first kiss. cheesy. but i LOVE that roof.

oh the memories.

i have a business idea to solve the needs of patrons like you, i'll set up a bike rental facility right next to the other bike rental facility so that people can rent my bikes and ride to the end of the line
