Cowboys & Indians

It has been a whirl-wind of a summer, but its come down to the last weekend.. and the countdown for the next great adventure. Last week we celebrated Giancarlo's 26th birthday. He was very spoiled I must say.. but I would be lying if I said that he didn't deserve it. The first (of many) events was the Padres vs. The Mets game. Even though it was a record low (freeeeezing 50 degrees) and the Padres lost (boo) we all still had a great time! I do have to say that the Padres went on to win the next two games, but I told them to let the Met's win because it was GC's birthday. HA. The following night we ended up at this ammmazing restaurant in the West Village, Broncas. They ended up closing the patio (because of the weather) but we sat inside with our pitcher of sangria and variety of tapas. I would move to Spain if only to live on sangria and tapas for the rest of my life! I forgot how much fun the West Village is, even with odd summer weather, everyone was out and about- all the restaurants sides wide open with customers piling out in the streets. New York summers are almost up there with the So Cal ones. We ended the week with GC & Katie's "cowboys & indians" birthday party at great bar where the party ended up just being all of GC & Katie's friends...and a few locals. Great juke box, cheap drinks, and amazing friends...OH and this happened to be on the HOTTEST night of the summer...hey, one extreme to the next, what more can you ask for!?

weekend fun

The best thing about summer in the city is the BBQ's!!! This past Saturday was Lacey's birthday party. The best thing is that she lives right around the corner from GC so didn't need to stumble too far to get back home. Among my many goals in life.. a backyard with a BBQ is among the top 10.

My super sweet 26

I feel old. For my amazing 26th birthday what better way to celebrate than to do some Karaoke! And how better to top it off than belly dancers and hooka. Nothing says Happy Birthday better than a random night out with friends.
