Our trip to the Big Apple is just about coming to a close. It's been so much
fun gallivanting around the city with my sister and Amanda and Jocelyn
from SOL's Buying Department. I couldn't have asked for better company!
There is only one thing right now we don't love about NYC
- the absence of our daughters. Next year, they're definitely coming
with!

While we did do some actual work, we took a little time out to play. We saw Porgy and Bess on Broadway which was inspirational and so full of
current issues of today. It was such an amazing production and the themes were spot on in regards to today's issues.
We just had a slightly horrific afternoon at JFK. Even
seasoned travelers get set back at airports sometimes. Our normal 45 minute cab
ride turned into a 2 hour lurch fest (although our cabbie was so kind) only to be
dropped at the wrong terminal and then hearing the sad news that we
wouldn't be reunited with our daughters. For all the many things we love about
NYC, being without our daughters for one more night did bring a tear to our
eyes.

| This sums up our delicious dinner! |
While at dinner at Bombay Talkie (you seriously have to eat there!) we came up with 10 of our favorite things about NYC:
- Humidity and the resulting youthful skin that humidity gives
- An early morning run on the Highline
- Divine food on every corner. Embarrassingly we love Macelleria so much it was a two time visit this week!
- Taxi cabs at any time of the day or night. We aren't whistlers just a quick arm in the air (well, Jeanie is a whistler, but more of a tune at all times of the day)
- Ninth Street Espresso and sandwiches from Amy's Breads (thanks Kendall Barnes for sharing this with us!)
- Diversity: different people speaking different languages all together in the hustle and bustle
- Beautiful people, dressed beautifully- sometimes Cindy even feels under dressed
- Celebrity sightings: Stanley Tucci ( looking divine in a very gorgeous suit), Allen Cummings (looking a bit lost), and Kris Humphries ( being so kind to his adoring fans - embarrassingly we were sitting next to him and we didn't know him)
- Running into good friends
- Art at every turn, gorgeous architecture, rooftops, covers for buildings under construction
