Mike & Jess’s Wedding

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

This weekend it was off to Long Island for Jess and Mike’s Wedding. Friday night I flew into JFK and Larry and I trained it out to Glen Cove, where we quickly got ready for the rehearsal dinner, which was a BBQ poolside, followed by a massive dessert spread and lots of great speeches, and then followed by the after party at the bar upstairs. After getting schooled in foosball too many times, Larry and I called it a night.

Saturday we spent most of the day at the pool, and most of that watching the longest water-treading contest ever.

That night we were bused over to a very nice country club for the wedding and reception, with probably the most comprehensive cocktail hour buffet I’ll ever see (there was even a mac and cheese station!).

Wedding was lots of fun – maybe even too much fun, because I couldn’t even make it to the after party :)

U.S. Olympic Trials

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

This weekend I went to Philly with my Mom and sis for the gymnastics Olympic Trials. Its our third one so far (we also hit 1996 and 2000 in Boston). The meets were both great, but I have to say Philly wasn’t my favorite town ever – not a lot to do for three girls like us. We also met Brian and Jen for dinner Saturday night at El Vez in Center City which was great. Here are a few pics from the meet:

Jillian & JL’s Wedding

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

This weekend I was in NY for Jillian & JL’s wedding. Friday night we met Amanda, Mike, Ayelet, and Brad at Gottino for some wine (our first time back since the debacle in March). I think we may have been the biggest party they’ve ever had because they even offered us a couple rounds of free tastings. Fortunately this time tho, we left before the bar closed.

On Saturday Larry and I went downtown and I got my first glimpse of the “new place.” Gorgeous. We also got an amazing breakfast/coffee at Think Coffee and did some damage at Crate and Barrel and West Elm, despite it being possibly the hottest day ever.

That night after we got all dolled up…

…we headed downtown to the Ritz in Battery Park for Jillian and JLs wedding. Wedding was great, lots of great sushi, wine, friends, and…bow tying?

On Sunday we mostly hung out at home doing a couple online “errands,” briefly walked the street fair outside Larry’s apartment (until the heat was too much), and got some Margaritas before it was time for me to head to Laguardia and back home.
