The Perpetual Adventures of Captain and Mrs. Cook: A Quick, New York City Weekend

Some of you might be wondering, what happened to that tri-city hockey arrangement you set up with Adam and his friends from college, the Arnetts and Cahills? Well, due to a few schedule conflicts in our original plans (i.e., Superbowl, and other big events) we had to do some reconfiguring with the schedule and ended up not being able to watch hockey games in both NYC and Washington DC. So, for this past weekend, we came up with another plan which included, but was not limited to: a 4.5 hour bus ride via DC2NY, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, two massive slices of pizza upon arrival, missing keys, a breakfast sandwich and coffee to match - both the size of my face, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Central Park while enjoying a Missile Pop and some break dancing/roller skate dancing for viewing entertainment, Jamba Juice, followed by the purchase of an extra layer for warmth, a Bellini followed by dinner and wine at Serafina and a sighting of House Whip (R), Eric Cantor (boo), then a Broadway show "Promises, Promises" featuring Kristin Chenoweth "Cheno", and Sean Hayes , with dessert to follow from somewhere that was not Serendipity! Sunday was definitely a little more chillaxed...late wake up time, bloody mary and brunch, the purchase of a delicious cupcake from a local cupcakerie (always a must), a Nintendo Wii fit tutorial (I enjoyed the skiing bit), lots of begging and then finally a yes from me to go play touch football out in Brooklyn, a new pair of shoes as my reward, a car ride out to Brooklyn, a couple of touchdowns by Charlie-Nana - our superstar friend who came from DC with us, farewells, NY2DC bus ride, Up in the Air, and a couple of burgers from 5 guys to welcome us home... and all of the above activities accomplished in a New York minute. What a great city. *note...I tried to add links to nearly everything in this post...just for fun.
