Our next stop after NYC was Las Vegas for my Aunt's western themed wedding. It was awesome. Plus, it's always a good time when the Haskells & Sampsons get together.
We ventured to New York for an amazing wedding of two very amazing people. It was a fantastic weekend.
Grimaldi's (Best Pizza)
This guy was my favorite. He was in charge of seating people and monitoring the line outside.
At the Flat Iron Lounge to celebrate with the wedding couple.. Jordyn Buchanan and Laura Schoe Grosshans the night before their nuptuals..
The ceremony and reception were held at Per Se. As Dave kept saying through the day, "Are you serious?" It was unreal.
The Ceremony..
Lara, Kindie, Marisa, KereAna, & me.
Two of the bridesmaids sang this cute song during the ceremony..
I can't even begin to describe how amazing the food was. I considered posting a picture of each dish, but decided that I would just include my favorite course (number 6 of 7).
The Beef.
The new and improved Buchanan Family.
Central Park
Other highlights included..attempting to see the Yankees at the ticker tape parade (it was pretty much just "people watching people" since it was so crazy & crowded), Riding the subway to Brooklyn on accident (ooops..my bad), our night out at Cafe Madrid & Naked Lunch after the wedding, the MET, the Natural History Museum (I had never been there - if you haven't either, I highly recommend it), Sick/Shady dinner in China Town, Puerto Rican lunch, and Dunkin Donuts.
We have officially entered the Fun Zone!! The Fun Zone (or the FZ as I will refer to it hence forth) consists of several parts...the first of which, includes a visit from my favorite little brother, Mikey and a favorite friend of mine, KereAna. Not only that, but we are also in the midst of Snowbird week- a week spent every year at the Iron Blosam lodge to commemorate my parents' union. (Congratulations to them!)
Here are the Haskell chitlins at Snowbird at the top of the tram.
Here we are doing a little Tai Chi (looks a lot like a dance party for some reason) while we wait for the Tram to take us back down
Do you ever get bored of the same old websites that you visit daily?? Well, I do and have been looking for some interesting new ones. I thought I'd share a few that I came across.
