The last couple of weekends we've been really lucky to have people come out to visit. Two weekends ago, Jeremy's mom, Phyllis came out for the weekend. On Saturday, we enjoyed a beautiful fall day in New York City. We went to the French Culinary Institute for brunch, and saw Mama Mia on broadway and took the elevator up to the top of the Rockefeller Center
The view from the top is pretty amazing! That afternoon we went for a carriage through central park. That's something I've always wanted to do. Along the way, our driver pointed out where various scenes from Home Alone II were filmed. I think we all left there feeling a little bit more complete as human beings.
That night we went to Serendipity for dessert, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The desserts were delicious and HUGE! We got the broadway blackout cake, the ultimate creme and the frozen hot chocolate.
We were tempted, but decided not to go with the $1,000 dollar
golden opulence sundae.
Last weekend, my good friend, Brooke, came to visit from Boise. On Saturday we went on a double date out to Amish country. We went to Cherry Crest Adventure farm for the annual potato festival. I love little places like this. They had a petting zoo with little baby chicks that you can hold.
They also had a potato sack slide, a corn maze, potato slings, potato sack races, and potato eating contests. We got in on the action during the potato sack races, but the potato eating contests were more fun just to watch and bet on who was going to win each heat. Another favorite from the day was this blow up bubble thing you could bounce on. All the little kids loved it when Jeremy got on, we could hear them all saying to each other, "Get ready, here he comes!"
It was really great to spend some quality girl time together!
