this weekend was the NYC marathon and we had 14 visitors in town for the festivities! mom, brother ricky and my aunt bonnie were all participating in the marathon so we had some fun but kept it pretty calm before the race so they could rest. dad and matt lee have more pictures on their cameras, so when dad puts up his blog post from the trip i will link to that!
they all got in on thursday and once they got checked in, i took the marathoners and uncle peyton down to the convention center to go to the marathon expo. all the people speaking different languages and picking up your number makes it very exciting!
for dinner we went to one of our favorites…peter lugers! my 5th time! mom and i were just there 2 weeks ago but i was still jacked for some steak 🙂
friday all the guys went to shopping at the ferrari store, the watch store, the camera store and mom treated all the girls to uggs and tea for breakfast 🙂
after a great breakfast of tea and scones we went walking in the park to stretch our legs a little and explore!
it was cool because they were setting up the marathon route( the finish line exit is right at our street) so that got mom and bonnie pumped for the race!
the finish line!
after getting some yummy hot chocolate at jacques torres we went back to get ready to go see our broadway shows that night! some people saw Million Dollar Quartet, some people saw Wicked( my 6th time!)
saturday was busy but hang loose:
stacie and karen went for a jog/adventure around the reservoir and i met up with dad and his entourage for some pictures of the park…
after all that fresh air me, stacie and karen headed down to century 21 for some shopping! on the subway we met this cute little fellow who was on America’s Got Talent for breakdancing! he started showing us his skills on the train but we were the next stop so we didn’t get a good show 😦
after shopping we headed home to get ready for dinner at cafe fiorello- another place we’ve been to alot the past few weeks! in fact, this visit made me the mayor on foursquare! i was so excited! 🙂
matt got the legendary veal parm and every time we order it we are AMAZED at how big it is!
this phone photo isnt great but trust me this stuff was amazing! chocolate mousse and whipped cream that they literally scoop out of buckets! this was chocolate heaven!
after a fun and delicious dinner we all went back to get some rest before the big race the next day!
