My Week Vacation (Thursday)

Traveled down to Emerald Isle for a little getaway with family and friends. On the ride down, there were lots of wild flowers growing on the freeway.



Micah didn't like them so much


It was a little late and rainy when we arrived, but we just had to check out the beach


There were five in the bed and the little one said, "roll over, roll over," so they all rolled over and one fell out...Goodnight to the little ones!

My Week Vacation (Wednesday)

Graduation was held in the new Yankee Stadium. Hillary Rodham was the keynote speaker. Like her or not, she has paved the political road for a lot of women, so in actuality you can be respectful and thankful for her (right Cassandra?). She was pretty general when addressing us, but it was still cool to see her tiny spec on the field.


They provided us with these much needed hats as we walked into the stadium.



Brian was on the Jumbo-tron in a movie presentation for the 8,000 graduating that day. It was an emotional high for me to be his sister. I could not believe that this small town Utah boy was on the tron in this massive city they call New York. It was so amazing that all I could shout was, "THAT'S MY BROTHER!"



We had a lot of sun that day in the perfect 70 degree weather. Maybe you can notice Brian's nice cap line from the midday hours.



We ate at a crepe cafe of sorts. I had a curry chicken crepe and a dessert crepe made of nutella, banana and strawberries. Across the street, I found this odd Chinese restaurant (in Spanish) across the street. One can only find this in the melting pot of New York!



I then flew home to return to my family. Bye, bye my brothers.

My Week Vacation (Tuesday)

Central Park in fall, how you tore your dress, what a mess....well it wasn't fall, but had fun kicking around Central Park for much of the day. I had never been to Belvedere's castle (built as an observatory when the park was designed)




We then headed to the Mets and Braves game.


These two are surprisingly still married after having opposite tastes in baseball. Cassandra has been a long time Mets fan since she was young and went with her family to the city to watch them play. Brian has been a long time Braves fan since the days of Dale Murphy. They both have their own fan garb and wear it proudly.

Casey and I got burgers at the game, do you notice anything different about our burgers? Something unusual...

Mets ended up winning in an extra inning. Bases loaded, 2 outs, and the batter walked. Brian was ticked, Cassandra was happy, and I was just glad it was an exciting game and got to dance.

My Week Vacation (Monday)

Monday:
Flew to New York City to see my bro graduate from NYU.

I also got to see these corny two, Casey (my younger bro) and Tiff (his wife since July of '08)

Get it---the Bullock's at the Bullock? Hey what did one Bullock say to the other Bullock? Sounded like a start of good joke...

Brian ended up winning an award for service at his convocation. It was a lovely night with Brian's professors and friends and of course, the lovely Cassandra.

But what made it the loveliest, is that we were all together(especially at this hands down restaurant called Mirandi's in Greenwich, I'm still thinking about how I can get back there).

PS stands for Priority Seating on the Subway.


Look for Tuesday tomorrow.
