We had a nice visit with Mike & Vicki and they returned home Friday. They treated us to a Broadway show last Sunday and we saw The Drowsy Chaperone, starring none other than Bob Saget. I've never thought of him as Broadway material but he did an excellent job and we all really loved the show. Once again we took the Staten Island Ferry into the city but it was much easier this time since we left the kids at home with Grandma Kerry. We stopped off in Greenwich Village and took a stroll down Bleeker Street. We saw "The Naked Cowboy" and "The Naked Cowgirl" who are basically well known street performers who play a guitar and pose for tourist pictures while wearing almost nothing. By the time we got back to the ferry building the sun was setting and we stopped to enjoy the beautiful view from the ferry building that overlooked JFK drive & the Brooklyn Bridge. The view of the NYC skyline at sunset was the most beautiful I've ever seen it with the light reflecting off the buildings.
On Tuesday, they took the train to DC with hopes of seeing all the sites for 2 days but unfortunately their visit was cut short due to an ankle injury. They came back to NJ and Nick wrapped, splinted, elevated, and iced Vicki's ankle. What a good sport she was while Nick got to play paramedic again. The weather during the rest of the visit was pretty cool and rainy so we pretty much kept indoors. We celebrated Grandpa Mike's Birthday on Thursday and I made the birthday cake. It was great seeing them again, having them meet Lauren for the first time, and having Andrew see them for the first time since he was 6 months old.
