Weekend Excursion

This weekend, my good friend Carol and I took a little jaunt up to New York just to enjoy a "ladies night out". We had originally planned to meet up with a friend of hers, but that fell through, so we decided we'd still go and make an evening of it. This is made easier by the fact that Dev lives a quick 45-minutes (by train) from Grand Central. Thanks for the accomodations, big brother! So we drove up to Dev's on saturday morning (I'm not even going to try and describe the beautiful drive amongst all the lovely fall-touched leaves) and dropped our stuff off at his house, then we caught the train into the city. Once we were there, we had a bite to eat at Grand Central, then started walking toward the theater district. We decided to stop right where we were at and make a phone call to see if we could get into Mary Poppins for a reasonable price, and as it turned out, we got them! (thirty-seven dollars for a sat evening show, not bad indeed!) So we killed time by stopping downtown to see Ground Zero (the new memorial builing is going up!) and window shopping. And I will say that when I shop in New York and only come away with a pair of very agreeably-priced shoes, I've done something right. We then got out of the rain and wind by having a drink at McDonald's (and trust me, this is not the McDonald's on your block. The one in Times Square is huge) and then we headed to our show.
The next day, we did a little shopping in Devan's town of Greenwich, (I love Sephora, don't you?) we headed home on another lovely, colorful drive. Here's some highlights:

Fall Vacation to a Summery Place

I'm going to warn you all right now-there are TONS of pictures ahead! Okay, fair warning.
This week was spent in the great state of Arizona, which always brings back memories of my childhood. My and I got in late on Monday night. Tuesday was spent at cousin Anji's with the kids (cousin Anji hosted us and showed us a great time!). We did a craft with leaves that my mom had brought with her (if I refer to my mom as "Nanda" in this narrative, it's because that's what the kids call her). We also went to the park and got on the swings.







The next day, we had lunch with a great friend from Lakeside- Robyn Rogers. In this picture, you'll also meet mom's leading man Greg!


We then took the kids to Build-A-Bear (An Aunt Heather tradition). Here's a few good ones from that.





The next day, we hit the zoo:




You can see in the one picture, Rees and I are praying to the mist gods because we're so dang hot.
They got a little tired at the end.....


We spent that night at Monique's parent's house and had a lovely homemade mexican meal.
Friday, I rented myself a car (it turned out to be a PT Cruiser. I felt cool driving in that thing!) and drove to Tucson Arizona where I got to spend the evening with Catherine, a friend from my childhood.






Yesterday, we had to say good-bye. What a wonderful vacation. Hopefully we can get these guys back here one of these days!
