Sunday we got home from a 10 day trip to the East Coast! We had so much fun. We got to spend time with family and friends.
The first weekend was full of wedding festivites for Colin's cousin Kim, in Pennsylvania. We helped decorate, we got to partake in the fancy rehearsal dinner, had fun at the wedding and a post-wedding brunch! It was all so wonderful. It was great to visit with Colin's family. Most of them I had only ever met at our wedding and it's hard to really get to know people at your own wedding :)
Isn't this gorgeous! The wedding ceremony was outside and then the reception was in this old barn (good thing too, because it was about 90 degrees and POURING!)
Sunday evening we went home with Colin's cousin Laura to New York!! That night we decided to hit up some of the must-see tourist attractions, like Timesquare, Rockefeller Center and Magnolias cupcakes :) Colin and I have both been to these place (minus the cupcake place, which really is a must!) but it's always fun to go again. It was Memorial Day weekend and Timesquare was packed!!
The next morning we all met up with my good friend Lauren and had brunch at a place called the Spotted Pig. It was delish! The we headed up to the Highline which is a park that was made out of old rail road tracks, it's set above the city and is a good place to see everything! Then we walked to Central Park! We came across the Boat House and decided to go for a row. It was fun, but HOT! The weather said 93 degrees/feels like 104. Yes, yes, it felt like 104 degrees and it was humid! For dinner we met up with our friend Ashley and her boyfriend. While eating Alec Baldwin and his girlfriend came to the resturant and looked at the menu! We probably scared them away since we were all staring and looking incredibly look tourists :) They did not have dinner there, but it was still fun to see a celeb!
The next day we walked by the Hudson River through Battery Park to Ground Zero. We weren't able to go into the monument since you have to purchase tickets way ahead of time but it was cool to see the new Freedom Tower that is being built. We continued walking and went over the Brooklyn Bridge! We did so much walking during this trip, probably around 10 miles a day. I wasn't sure how my prego body would handle all this but I did just fine. In fact the mornings after the days we walked a ton I did not have any back pain whatsoever!
After New York we headed to Philladelphia to spend a few days with Colin's other cousin Michael and his wife Christina. We had a fun day full of American history. We went to Independence Hall, the Consistution Center and the Liberty Bell.
After Philly we headed to Colin's cousin Tara's house (he has plenty of cousins!). It was fun spending time with Rich & Tara and their four kids! We played lot's of games and got some time to rest after all the walking we did earlier in the week.
Overall we had a great trip! It's crazy to think that this was probably the last trip without a baby!!
