Here are some more of the 50th St. Alice in Wonderland Mosaics that I just love. I thought I would share.

On our first night together, we went out to this great italian place that has super good pizzas. And then I made Bryan ask the waiter to take our picture. I thought our moms would appreciate it.

This is the Alice and Wonderland mosaic at 50th St. I think it's super cute and had been dying to take pictures of it, so when we were down there, I did!
This is all of us waiting for the parade, it was pretty cold standing around and you can tell by our expressions that we would rather not have another picture taken. But Alex was a sport and documented the moment anyways.

The Parade was super cool. I loved all the bag pipers. Here's one in full regalia, piping away. I wish I could put the video I have on here with the sound, that would be awesome, but this is a pretty good substitute.
After the St. Patty's Parade, we walked through Central Park and posed in front of the castle.
We went to the Brooklyn Brewery on Saturday and while I was not so interested, as I hate beer, Bryan loved it. He would be super happy to take anyone along with him for another trip. This is art on the way there, which I told everyone to stand in front of, like tourists. He he.


We're waiting for the subway on Jacob and Christie's last day. We're going to the T.V. and Broadcast museum where they have a library where you can pick anything to watch or listen to for two hours. I watched the Gummi Bears and Patty Duke and Alana watched the Wonder Years and the boys and Christie watched a variety of Nickolodeon shows. It was awesome.




Jake and I went to the crepe restaurant on his last day. It was super good. We both really enjoyed it, until the the school kids, who apparently can leave school for lunch, stormed the place. It was insane, there weren't enough chairs and they were gabbing a mile a minute and helping themselves to ketchup and drinks behind the counter. I have never seen anything like it outside of middle school cafeterias. Cera likes to wake up guests by giving them an early morning kiss. It's her favorite thing to do. Mom really loved it.

This is when Mom and Dad were up, they were super exhausted after their first day, as you can see.

Okay, so Bryan and I went with Alana and Alex this week to a lecture given by Andres Serrano (pictured at right). He's a really brilliant photographer and what we refer to in the art world as an "art star." His lecture was really great and I asked a couple of questions which he answered very humourously. So, after the lecture was over, it's sort of protocol to go and shake the artist's hand, so as I go to do so, and say it was a wonderful lecture, he says to me, and I quote, "you have the most beautiful lips." I didn't quite know the proper response for that, so I just said thank you. Alex and Alana got the biggest kick out of it and called me "hot lips" for the rest of the night. Anyways, i just had to put it on here as documentation because how cool is it that I can tell my kids one day, "you know, Serrano once said I had 'the most beautiful lips.'"
