Last weekend, Keeper and I traveled to the Big Apple for his step-sister's wedding on Saturday night. We flew in to Newark late Friday night, took a car into the city, checked into our hotel, and met up with the last few stragglers who were still out drinking after the rehearsal dinner at a bar in the Village. We had a few drinks then stopped at a diner for a late-night tuna melt (we didn't get dinner on the plane). I love the city that never sleeps!
Saturday morning I got to meet up with my college girlfriends (sorority sisters). Four of them live in the city, one lives right outside the city, one came down from Boston for the weekend, and another one drove in from PA with Jen. We went out for brunch at a place not too far from Keeper and I's hotel. It was so great seeing the girls and catching up. We have some new Pi Phi legacies on the way in 2010!! Congratulations to Sarah and Emily on their pregnancies!!!
The wedding was held Saturday evening at Battery Gardens in Battery Park. The ceremony was outside (very chilly but being right on the water, across from the Statue of Liberty was priceless). The cocktail hour and reception were held inside the restaurant. It was a super-fun wedding. We had a great time dancing and seeing Keeper's family. We went to the after party and met up with some old friends of ours after the wedding. We decided to hang out in our hotel room and ended up staying up way too late. The lack of sleep + wedding shenanigans definitely caught up with me on Sunday and I was not feeling so hot. Luckily by the time our flight left, I was ok and we both slept the entire flight back to Phoenix.
It was a busy, whirlwind weekend but we were both so happy to reconnect with family and friends in New York. It was back to reality when we landed in Phoenix at 7:30pm and the temperature was 102. Yikes.
