Happy Birthday Brooklyn Bridge!

She turned 125 this weekend. My pictures didn't turn out very well, so this is a pro shot. It was a beautiful night and it just happened to be fleet week, which would have been much more exciting had all the sailors not looked like children to me. I wanted to flirt and get a pic with one, for posterity sake, but I couldn't get over the creepy pedophile feeling. I was perfectly content to just eat delicious cannelloni at this restaurant on Mulberry with AnnMarie Miranda, Joann, Suzilla and Brent, none of whom were willing to be featured in my blog.

Nyack, NY

Saturday was a great day-- Keith wanted to go on a 'groovy' drive so we headed north. We stopped in a couple cute towns and ended up in Nyack, and I decided I want to move there. It's a cute historic town like Greenwich but smaller and not touristy. We made friends with everyone (Keith's outgoing and everyone in the town is very kick-back and friendly) and by the time we left it felt like home. I would work in the bakery on the main street and live in a Victorian farmhouse I saw an ad for in the bakery window. Rent would be cheaper for me than it is now, which is good because I'm sure bakery work isn't terribly lucrative. Even tho it's only about 45 min to NYC, fashions are quite different:

There's a little pub called O'Mally's or something with the best home-made dark chocolate creme brulee ever.

Kentucky Derby

Aunt Elinor's Kentucky Derby party was even bigger this year than it was last year. Family came from as far away as Oregon. It was a very fun weekend. This year my horse was in front for more than half the race until Big Brown, Zach's horse, came from behind to win. So Zach was the big winner--$20 for his college fund :)

DC Trip

Kris & Brittany came from Sitka to visit DC with Brittany's school program. So fun to see them! I didn't see Britt much, but she sure has grown up! I'm so old... I just went down for a couple days but we saw EVERYthing! Thanks for playing Krissy!
