Professional Packers and Un-Packers, for Hire.

Seriously, as we unpacked Sunday afternoon, for the ummmmm, 5th time in 6 weeks??, Wes commented that we're getting pretty efficient at the traveling process and all it entails.  Here's a look at another fun weekend!
We arrived at the hotel (Renaissance Westchester) early enough to grab a DELICIOUS lunch.  Best hotel food we've had in a while - compliments of the 80 West restaurant.
This photo really doesn't do this view justice.  Overlooking the Long Island Sound, the Coveleigh Club was GORGEOUS.

BEAUTIFUL Bride
xo
The HAPPY couple.
RIDICULOUSLY talented Manhattan College Pipe & Drum band.  A surprise for the Groom. :)
Life-long FRIENDS.
One of the great things about a Friday wedding, is that you have Saturday FREE!  Check out this street artist we stumbled upon in Washington Square Park!  Rolling your baby grand down New York City streets to entertain the masses - no big deal.  God, we miss New York.
LOVED the color of this building - definitely stood out among the drab brown buildings surrounding it.
We stopped at Grape and Grain, the restaurant my sister worked at while she lived in Brooklyn, for a bite to eat.  HIGHLY recommend this place if you're ever in the neighborhood (lower east side).  It's super tiny, very mellow, and completely satisfying.
Check out the CALM ambiance.  
Homemade pretzels with sunflower and pumpkin seeds and a mustard seed something-or-other sauce.  As if that's not enough, add homemade garlic pickels and FREAKIN delicous cheese. 
We tried to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, but there was too much construction happening on the path that blocked the STUNNING view, so we turned around in the middle.  Next time we'll make it to Brooklyn.
I edited the photo to fade out the beads of sweat running down our faces.  Can you say HOT & SWEATY?  Luckily, he already proposed. :/

Yet another successful weekend trip!  However, we've decided to stay put in DC this weekend.  :)
