We visited the beautiful Brooklyn Botanical Gardens a few weeks ago and saw all the new blooms. We are anxious to return soon, as the cherry trees are just about ready to bloom! For March 14th we celebrated the date: 3/14...and had some PIE (tart) because you know....3/14, just like the number 3.14....get it?
We were able to see Serena's brother-in-law Josh (Heidi's Husband) as he was in town visiting his brother Jake who is working here. It was a fun treat to see Josh and spend time with him. We were able to go to Bobby Flay's restaurant Mesa in Manhattan. Josh's hotel had a great view of the city and we were able to show him Central Park and the Temple. He had a short stay and we were grateful he came.
For Saint Patricks day, we went to 5th Ave and saw the parade and visited the stores and buildings there: The Rockefeller Center and ice skating rink, Saint Patricks Cathedral, Trump Tower, FAO Schwartz, The Plaza Hotel, Bergdorf Goodman (Serena loves to go there and STARE at the $6,000 pieces of sparkly jewelry), Radio City Music Hall and Bouchon Bakery (no Heidi, we didn't buy the quiche...we didn't buy anything there). 5th Ave is like the Strip in Vegas or the Champs Elysees in Paris where all the big brands and fancy store are.
We are looking forward to having our first guests in our home in less than two weeks, Shauna Dennis (Serena's old roommate) and Erica Zaine (another of Serena's old roommates, she is from North Dakota as well). We are so excited to see them again and spend a lot of time showing them the city and making memories (and feeding their faces) :).
We love our new apartment. It is in a very nice part of town (we feel like we moved back to the U.S....everyone speaks english here, ha) and it's a newly updated apartment. It is small, like a typical New York apartment, but is free from the clutter and cat hair we had in our old apartment. We are loving the sunshine and warm weather.
We will be in touch soon!
Love you all,
Serena and Mat Peltzer
