A Wild Weekend

Wes had a wonderful picnic lunch planned for my birthday on Saturday.  He was planning to take me to Roosevelt Island, which we've been talking about visiting since we moved in - it's practically in our backyard.  Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate with us, so we postponed our plans for Sunday, which was a beautiful day!

We decided to save the island for next weekend, since it's supposed to be a bit warmer and instead took our picnic to the zoo.  Chef Wes made delicious cheese steaks and picked up one of our favorite bottles of vino.  Off we went to dine with animals!

Oh, this is the yummy Mac n Cheese Wes made on Friday night.  It's inspired by the dish we always get at a neighborhood restaurant, with artichokes inside and cheese-its on top!  Wes added tomato, because, well, nothing beats fresh tomato!

Cheese Steaks!

Look! We found a house that matched my nails!

Ch-ch-ch-cheetah!

Pretty fish.

Jellyfish-ish fish.

He was just hanging out on this tree, along a path we walked to exit one of the exhibits.  Totally cool.

It was a treacherous adventure...but rest assured; we made it home safely - thanks to Wes, our fearless tour guide.
