We started the morning off with a two, yes TWO mile run! I know it sounds silly, but I am quite proud of myself. I have a great little coach!
Next, we went to the city to try a new place for brunch. There is nothing that makes me happy like brunch. Or saying I am going to brunch. It just sounds so grown up! We went to a little cafe called Maison 247 which has a French flair to it: we tried beignets (lil deep fried french yummies) and had a really great meal.
We then took off to the foreign land of Brooklyn. Jed planned a little day out at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. He knows that I love gardening (or at least the idea beings that we live in a concrete jungle) and believe me, this was a garden to the extreme. Gorgeous flowers, cherry blossoms, koi fish ponds. Soaking up the rays, sitting on a bench, people watching to the fullest. Couldn't ask for more.
We went back to the mainland for a little shopping with hopes to catch "Into the Heights" on Broadway, but ended up coming back to our little abode in Queens. We were both SO tired...give
us a break, we haven't had a full day out in a LONG while.
All in all, it was a perfect day.
Enjoy the pic from my "bud"ding photographer (pun intended)

congrats on the run, and what a fun day! i did my first half marathon race since 2000 and it felt HARD - way more hills in charlottesville than utah, but glad i did it - now i have very sore feet, calves, and knees! However, sometimes the first 2 miles are the hardest! so you go!
You didn't get tix to INTO the Heights b/c it's called
IN THE HEIGHTS
And it is a great show, so you should try again, and this time ask for IN THE HEIGHTS tix.
: )
I have not been to any NYC botanical gardens yet! I think b/c of my allergies it's not the first thing I think of...but I still want to go.....gotta put it on the list! Glad you had a great time. Our fun-in-the-sun consisted of rooftop reading and a battle between two ice cream trucks vying for the same turf. CuhLASSic
