Happy Memorial Day!

Hi everyone!

Welcome to our blog. We are hoping that this can be a better way to share pictures, stories, and other happenings from NYC with those of you that don't live very close!

Matt and I had a very relaxing, yet productive weekend after my first week of summer semester. We had a couple of outings in to the city, including Saturday going to Union Square to hang out on a beautiful day. The green market was going on there as it is all Saturdays, but it is always CRAZY busy, and they have a lot of cool stuff to offer. I was craving Chipotle so we went there...only to be disappointed by the burnt chicken and old rice. We had to make up for that. So, we went to Jamba Juice because we both had gift cards, and it was delicious, AND we went to Crumbs where there are DELICIOUS cupcakes, and got one for later! Those errands definitely made up for gross Chipotle. Then we went to Petco to pick up a few things, and we ended up getting Rocket a new bed, which he LOVES and now prefers that to take naps over our laps! We've been replaced!


Otherwise, our 3-day weekend has been pretty low key, full of enjoying the weather, and studying for me. :-/
Today we went to Central Park to picnic with Lauren, Mike, Zoe, and her friend Elisabeth. It was a lot of fun!!! Rocket had a blast with his first trip to Central park, as well as made a lot of people and dog friends, like he always does. The picnic was fun and delicious, we played with the girls and Rocket. We managed to keep Rocket away from the food and in to his own food, but we couldn't stop him when I was making a sandwich for Zoe...he zipped in under my arm and grabbed a mouthful of turkey! It was HILARIOUS, and we got all the turkey out of his mouth before he could swallow it. Oh did he enjoy his first taste of meat though! After the picnic, we decided to get all of the adults a treat, at Starbucks! =) That was delicious.

Here are some pictures from the picnic!




I hope you enjoyed our first post! We'll try and post weekly to keep you in tune with what's going on over here in NYC!

Love,
Karen and Matt
