Playing Catch-up

June 30th, 2008 by Eli

I decided to make my “Cardio Tennis” post separate but everything else going on can just go in one post. So let’s see…

I went to NYC for a long weekend a week ago and met up with my friend Mary. We stayed at my sister’s apartment in NYC. We had SUCH A GREAT TIME! I think we did just about every thing we could possibly fit into our 4 days there:

  • We got up early and tried to get on the TODAY Show and got our 3 seconds of fame.
  • Top of the Rock (went up to the top of Rockefeller Plaza and had a gorgeous view…we were actually the very first people to the top that day.
  • St. Patrick’s Cathedral
  • Central Park
  • Time’s Square
  • Shopping on 5th Ave (well ok, WINDOW shopping.)
  • World Trade Center area
  • Sex & the City tour (this was AWESOME!)
  • Mary Poppins on Broadway…Emily’s friend IS Mary Poppins so we got to get a backstage tour and all that. The show was amazing!
  • …and probably a lot of other stuff I’m forgetting.

We had such a good time though. I used this trip as an excuse to celebrate my upcoming 30th birthday (in TWO days!!) so every night when we went out to dinner Emily and Mary told them it was my birthday so I’d get a dessert. It was fun fun…

Here are a few trips from the trip. The entire album can be found here.

Let’s see, what else is going on? Anna’s about to start her first dance class. I AM SO EXCITED! She is too. She keeps “doing ballet” all over the house so I searched and searched to find a school around that accepts 2 year olds. I originally found one about 25-30 minutes away that has a “mommy and me” class. It’s an 8 week class. We missed the first class and I just realized a couple of days ago that we were going to miss 3 more, so half of the classes for that session…so I’m not paying for that if she’s going to miss so much.

SO. I searched and searched again and found a place that’s about 40 minutes away. They have a 30 minute tumbling/ballet/tap class for 2-3 year olds that’s NOT a “mommy & me”…so we’ll see how that goes. She already has her leotard, tights, ballet slippers and tap shoes, so she’s all set. It’s a 2 week session, with two classes each week (so 4 classes total) and we won’t miss any (well, unless she’s sick or something). So I’m excited! She can’t wait to go….see?

Hmm…I guess that’s about it. I’m sure there’s more going on with me, but it’s really not all that interesting.

I'm a relatively boring person...wife to Dan, mom to Anna and two little wiener dogs. Photography is my hobby, though maybe someday I'll make some money off of it. Skiing is a passion, when I can do it. Maybe at some point I'll put something a little more witty and interesting here.
