Time to catch up on blog-worthy events! And I definitely consider a weekend in NYC a blog-worthy event, especially when it includes time with my favorite (and likely only - it's a pretty unique name) Gajderoroberts clan AND celebrating upcoming wedded bliss with Dana and her stellar family and friends. Although there wasn't really much that was all NEW YORK CITY about this weekend, which was a nice change. I kinda like going to New York with some degree of familiarity and navigating Penn Station with minimal confusion and knowing how to get to various places in the city without appearing totally lost and just spending time with some good friends. Works for me.
Setting: approximately three weeks ago. Not bad considering I've been in a blurry haze for the last month or so. I blame Craig (not just "the boy" anymore - that's right, he gets a name!). New York City - multiple boroughs and many train/subway adventures.
Reason: Dana's bridal shower prompted the trip, and it's also impossible for me to go to that city and miss a chance to spend time with two dear friends and my adorable pseudo-nephew.
Friday evening arrival. Greeted by friends, cheese, crackers, fruit, and wine. Living room picnic ensues while cute little one snoozes the night away. I love our living room picnics filled with tastiness and wonderful conversation. A lot of life to catch up on in those couple of hours. Delightful.
In tackling the weekend's events, one must always consider what Mother Nature has in store. Unlike last year's horizontal rain and crazy random wind tunnels during this time of year, this year we just had...normal rain! I know, I know, you were hoping for perfect skies and stories of "dreary winter? what dreary winter?" - but alas, it was not to be. At least Saturday was relatively weather-free, and I had a fantastic time catching up with Dana and spending some time with my surrogate East Coast family. Love the Duffins!!

Most of Saturday was consumed by the epic awesomeness that was the bridal shower and what I'll refer to as the after-party at the Duffin home, and then that blasted rain confined us to the indoors for a better part of Sunday. Not that I'm really complaining. I mean, we indulged in Eggs Benedict (homemade!! way to knock it out of the park, Jason) and oodles of coffee and and spent quality time with a certain cute kiddo and just chilled. Which was awesome.
