3 Years!

We are celebrating our anniversary today. These past 3 years have been great and we look forward to many more. No big plans for today - our trip to Boston next weekend is our anniversary trip. :)

The Big Lull before the Big Move

There's been a whole lotta nothing going on around here. The weather has been not so nice - rainy, cloudy - reminds me of being home. Although I hear Seattle has a dry streak going right now. Looks like the East and West Coasts swapped weather once again this year...

Ethan's been away for work for the past two weeks - but luckily was home in between trips last weekend. We hit up the Shake Shack, a burger joint in Madison Square Park that we've been meaning to try for almost 3 years now. (Also, their website is fun). The Shake Shack is super popular - so popular that the website has a "shack cam" so you can see how long the line is before you go. We went on a Saturday at lunch time, so we were expecting a big crowd. The line was indeed long and it took about 45 minutes until we had our Shackburgers and chocolate shakes in hand. The burgers were tasty, I'd say in my top 5. But the best part was the super chocolaty shake. I think it topped the shake I got at Tom's Restaurant...



I know Ethan is not going to be happy about this pic but I mainly wanted to get a shot of his T-shirt. :)

We walked from Madison Square Park to Union Square and along the way saw this building. I just thought it was cool and very French-y. Reminded me of Paris.


Last Saturday was also the Brooklyn Pride Parade that marched through our neighborhood. We stopped to watch on our walk home from dinner.

Life's going to get busy in the next couple weeks - we have a trip to Boston planned for the 4th of July. It'll be my first time in Boston and I can't wait! We'll have lots of photo opportunities there - M's/Red Sox game, fireworks, sightseeing, etc.

The Park

The weather has been a little iffy so far this spring. Last weekend, we made the most of a warm day and headed to Central Park for some nature time.  This place comes alive when the sun comes out - tons of people around.  We walked to the Bethesda Fountain, one of the most popular spots in the park.  I hope we make a few more visits to the park before our move, since there are still spots we haven't explored.
