Breakfast on Sunday?

Hell's Kitchen Devil
Jack and I are the kind of people who like to sleep in, whenever possible. So, it was a little odd for us to be making plans to wake up earlier than we do on the weekdays! Sunday was to be a touristy, date-day; and though plans didn’t turn out like we thought, we made the most of our day!

We had breakfast (not brunch) with our dear, lovely friend. Then went antique/flea market shopping in Hell’s Kitchen. Finally we trekked over to B&H where Jack got me a wonderful present (more on that later!). Twas a very pleasant Sunday! Makes me consider getting up early on the weekend a little bit more.

I love shoes…

Blowfish Hobbits
… Oh yea, and Jack! Because, amongst other things, he buys me super cute shoes (Blowfish’s Hobbit)! I’m looking forward to having many adventures in them!

And in other shoe news, I really really want these Atlanta Adidas. I just can’t bring myself to pay $85 for sneakers. And, like Jack said, I’d have to buy two pairs; one to wear and one to keep mint in the box. ;P

Through the eyes of a tourist

Through the eyes of a tourist
This weekend we had company, which is something that always excites me! Though today, Sunday, wasn’t the best, weather-wise, Saturday could not have been a more beautiful day to take in some of the sites that I, somewhat, take for granted, not being a tourist.

Cloudy Sunday

Cloudy Sunday
I knew that the beautiful weather we had been enjoying, pretty much all month, couldn’t last forever… and yesterday the rain came. Actually, most of Sunday was just kind of nasty, cold, and overcast. Today it’s been pouring. After the last few weeks, where we had blue skies and temperatures upwards towards the 80′s, all the gray and it plummeting back down into the 50′s, was a tad upsetting.

Yesterday, despite the less-than-great weather, we took a trip all the way down to the Financial District. For those of you who don’t know, this area pretty much shuts down after business hours and on the weekends (except for right around Ground Zero, for the tourists), so traveling so far on a trip mainly for food probably wasn’t the best of ideas. We made the best of it, finding a cute Mexican restaurant, poking around the maze of clothing that is Century 21, and grabbing some coffee at South Street Seaport / Pier 17.

A trip to the Museum

Brooklyn Museum of Art
I think I inspired Jack a little by posting those logos, because today we went to the Brooklyn Museum. What a fabulous space! It has a huge variety of pieces that spans ancient to modern. I love seeing pieces I studied in college and was glad to see they still had the Dinner Party by Judy Chicago there. What a fabulous way to spend a raining day!
