Sister Weekend in NYC

There are times when you get to do something that you'll remember for the rest of your life and last weekend was one of mine! My sister Jane flew in from Florida and spent a few days here with me. I took her to the Brandywine River Museum and Terrain for lunch on Friday. Then on Saturday morning we caught the Amtrak train to NYC and spent the day running around the city. It's not often that I have such a free schedule and we ate a three hour dinner that night and walked back to the hotel through Times Square. We were there until Sunday afternoon and the weather was beautiful. It went too quickly, so we'll have to make this a regular thing! I also spent yesterday with my friend Erinn in West Chester, PA which I just fell in love with too. Lots of places to go back to visit!! :)

On the train, headed to New York City 
Ate brunch in Soho

Shopped at The French Connection, Soho

At the Metropolitan Museum of Art

By the pond in Central Park... this is why I never modeled-- so awkward!!!

It sounds like you had a lovely weekend! And if the Monet in NYC made your head spin, just wait till we visit Paris together!

I too was away the last while - first in Bath with friends and then in the Netherlands for work....

It was a really great trip! and it helps when we love the same things. Seeing all the beautiful art, hanging out with Beth, and shopping was just what I needed!
