The weekend of the historical flood Mike and I were in Nashville for the Jimmy Buffett concert. That was our anniversary gift to each other this year.On May 1, 2010 we weathered the storm with our parrot head tailgate and then had a blast at the concert. His music makes me want to pack my bags and move to an island. I hope everyone had a great weekend! We had beautiful weather Saturday.
The second to last weekend in April I went to NYC for the night with some of my friends from here. It is so crazy being this close to one of my favorite cities. We took the bolt bus which was $30 dollars and found out that if you ride stand by you can ride for a buck. That is a crazy good deal! We left at 9:00am and arrived after lunch. This was a quick trip so we only went to two stores in the city Uniqlo and TopShop. Both stores are reasonably priced with lots of fun styles. Uniqlo originated in Japan and TopShop in the UK. The reason for the trip was my friend Hillary's best friend from Boston was having her birthday party in the city. We stayed the night in the Empire Hotel which is where Gossip Girls is filmed. I would highly reccommend it. It is on the upper west side, across the street from the Met, and the subway. Hillary's friend who works at the Met got us a great deal on our room. Thanks Shelby! My long time friend Catherine Cocke who has been living in NYC met up with me for the night. I was so excited to have her with me. We all went to dinner and then to a karaoke place where we had our on suite. Each room had flat screens on the wall with an ipod to select the songs you wanted to sing. It was soooo much fun! Three hours later when our time was up and our vocies shot we went back to our hotel to the roof top. Apparently it is a hot spot because there was a huge line and it was packed. Since we were staying there we got to skip the line. The next day we headed out early because I had to work. Stay tuned for my next trip to NYC Memorial Day weekend!!! :o)
