New York State of Mind

Natalie, Lauren and I went to NYC a couple weeks ago for Rory's surprise 30th birthday party. Rory picked us up at the train station and took us to Lluzo's, which has to have some of the best pizza in the city (and he picked up the tab (seriously)). The next day we went to the MOMA, walked through Central Park and ate at Carnegie Deli, a New York institution (check out the size of the sandwiches). It wasn't just Natalie eating for two that day.







Saturday night was Rory's surprise party. He thought he was doing a gig with a few other comics, but Jordan planned for his friends to surprise him at a bar on the Lower East Side. We intended to go out to dinner with Rory while Jordan and his friends gathered to surprise him, but we were still full from the copious amount of deli meat we ate for lunch. So we scratched dinner and had some drinks a few blocks from the faux-gig/party. Rory was surprised and the party was a lot of fun. We had red velvet cake, Rory's favorite, and the non-pregant people had some cocktails.











Sunday was lunch at the Meatball Shop (homemade meatballs; homemade ice cream) which was last of our fantastic eating experiences. We took the train back that afternoon. We had a great weekend.

Happy Anniversary

I can't believe its been a year since our wedding in Destin. It seems like yesterday that we were all at the beach. To celebrate our anniversary, Chris and I went to Chestertown, MD. It wasn't very far from DC, but it felt like a world away. It was such a relaxing trip and most likely the last one we'll be taking alone for a while. We stayed at the Brampton Inn Bed and Breakfast, which couldn't have been nicer. The weekend was filled with shopping, sailing, and eating Maryland crabs.













Happy Anniversary to my amazing husband. I look forward to many anniversaries to come.

St. Lucia

In honor of our upcoming anniversary, I thought I would post some pictures from our honeymoon. We went to St. Lucia in November of 09. It was a trip of a lifetime and I strongly encourage everyone to go. We spent the first three nights on the northern end of the island at Sandals, and the last three nights at Ladera Resort. Ladera was truly paradise...breathtaking views, amazing food, and the rooms were unbelievable. Each room overlooked the Pitons and only had three walls. I'm not sure we can ever top this trip...at least not in the near future.

Grammy Sue comes to town

We spent the weekend with my M-I-L who came to visit us in DC. We always have a great time, but this weekend was extra special. It's the first we've seen each other since our big announcement. Knowing how excited she is to be a grandma, I bought her this t-shirt in honor of her visit. I think she likes it! And she looks like one pretty cool Grandma.


She brought us a baby gift too. I couldn't think of a better way to initiate Baby Salisbury into the Steeler Nation.


Don't forget the Terrible "Toddler" Towel. Love it!


On Friday night, we watched the Nationals beat the SF Giants. We had amazing seats on the first base line, perfect for watching the President's Race. We were rooting for Teddy who has never won, but George was the big winner of the night. Check out these pictures from the game.






What a great weekend!
