Remember Jack?

Remember Jack? Sorry Ash...

The Wariner's Came to Visit!

Our friends, Tarin and Danny graced us with their presence this past week!  It was a lot of fun!  We are sad to see them go...

I had to work and Scott had school but we were able to catch up with them most evenings.

Some of the highlights when we joined up, and just a warning most of these are restaurants: 

-Malecon (a Dominican restaurant by our apartment that serves rice, beans, and yummy rotisserie chicken)
-Eating seafood down at South Street Seaport right by the water.  The shrimp I had was so good:)
-Grimaldi's (a famous pizza place in Brooklyn)
-Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge towards Manhattan
-Rowboats at Central Park
-Seeing a million people dressed up in costumes in Central Park
-Shake Shack (hamburger place, good hamburger for New York)
-Levain Bakery (amazing cookies, featured on the Food Network multiple times)
-Yummy soup and rolls Scott made us on Sunday
-Jimmy Fallon on Monday (it was a lot of fun, cool to see how it is all put together)
-Another trip to Malecon, mmmmmm

Thanks Tarin and Danny it was fun to have you come stay with us!

I have a pumpkin....named Jack

I came home one day after work, and realized that Scott bought some gourds and a cute small pumpkin from the farmer's market.  I was excited and was thinking about where I was going to put them to decorate.  Then the other night I said something to Scott about how I was going to put some ribbon on them.  Scott's said something like, "Why are you going to put a ribbon on the pumpkin? I bought that to cook with..."  I said, "You can't buy me a cute little pumpkin, let me get attached, and then say we are going to eat it!"  He said, "Why, did you already name it?"  I said, "Yes, I named it... Jack!"  (That was the first name I could think of when he asked me). 

Legend of Sleepy Hollow

We took a day trip to Sleepy Hollow, NY today - we had lots of fun with our friends, and there wasn't any rain (but only because we hauled our umbrella around everywhere). It was such a quaint little town, and very different from the city! There were a bunch of locally-made holiday decorations lining the streets and parks of the town.

The jack-o-lantern man
Everybody non-posing in the middle of the city's gigantic cemetery. I think this is their version of Central Park. I would definitely spend a lot of time here if I lived in Sleepy Hollow - but it might be strange with all of the dead people around.

Trying my hand at some scenic pictures.
Graveyard for Washington Irving and family. Too bad the gate was locked, or else I would have gotten a closer picture. I just realized I probably could have climbed over the fence...but I'm glad I didn't. I don't need any headless horseman curses.
Here we are on the infamous bridge of Sleepy Hollow - great fall activity with lots of fun people!
