It was Saint Patrick's weekend and the start of our spring breaks, so Suzanne and I decided to spend a few days in New York getting a break from our daily lives. Sarah
was on the phone and so hardly noticed. Claire
seemed ok with the idea. Jane
was happy to finish her book as Jess
burned a CD ROM and Suzanne
read the newspaper. Meanwhile, Meredith and Ben
were playing indoor balloon volleyball over the chairs as Benjamin got revved up
for a slam.
Next thing, we knew, we were in New York looking at the Ernst and Young building
and Suzanne was conversing with the old Jewish tailor
who represented the garment industry. Along the way to the hotel, we passed these people buying green hats
and this mall based on Toys R Us
which is apparently not doing a good business.
We got to the hotel and took this white picture of the room
followed by this picture of the blue lights behind the bed
(no wonder they won the Interiors Magazine award!) and these pictures of the view -- across
and down.
This was the view from the door into our bedroom
and these were the waters
they left for us. Not to mention, the picture
on the living room wall and the sink
in the bathroom with the samples of lotions, potions, notions.
We left the hotel to walk to the theater
and got close enough
to see the reviews.
After the play, we went to Suzan Glazer's apartment for some hors d'oeuvres
which caused Suzanne to put on her Saint Patrick's green
to match the napkins
and the famous Irish gefilte fish balls
and the champagne bottle
that we all signed. After a few group pictures
we headed to the restaurant where picture taking was not possible except for these obligatory photos of the signs in the bathroom for my collection.
