New York, New York!

Last weekend we visited the Big Apple. We stayed with our good friend Gilana and her roomate, Laurel in Park Slope, Brooklyn. We're trying to move their by June, if all the stars properly align in our favor.

Gilana and Laurel have a lovely apartment, and Gilana was kind enough to let us stay in her room. Gilana and Laurel were fantastic hostesses! We felt at home in Park Slope b/c of the number of strollers and young families on the streets.

We also were able to see our good friends Casey, Micheal, and Mary, who also live in Brooklyn. They showed Garrett and I their 'hood, Sunset Park, while Brendan went to a Entertainment Industry Expo with G, in the city. Sunset Park has a gorgeous view of the Manhattan skyline; it's the secondest highest point in Brooklyn.

We hung out with B's dad, Peter and his girlfriend, Dolores. They had us over for dinner, and walked around their neighborhood. Garrett had a ball at a nearby playground. I met Brendan's cousin, Dustin for the first time. We had a lovely lunch with Dustin. Congrats to Dustin; he has a line available at Barney's!

While in NYC, we had a lot of delicious food! Thai, French, NY pizza... YUM! We're lucky to meet up with an old friend from the School of the Arts, Austin and his lovely g-friend, Melisa. Congrats to Austin; he just had a single digitally released!

Garrett was the subway greeter-- he waved and smiled at the multitudes. Garrett had a blast! We all had a lovely and informative trip. Look out New York, the Stephens are approaching!
