Sunday, October 2

We enjoyed a great weekend in New York City. We went there to participate in a wedding of a close family friend. The wedding and reception itself was great, plus we enjoyed spending time with Craig and Brooke. I'll post more pictures when life calms down a bit.

The wedding reception was held at a spectacular location with great views of Manhattan.
This is the view of Manhattan as we flew in on Saturday morning.
Our first stop was at the Sullivan Street Bakery, where I met one of my baking idols, Jim Lahey. He is the founder of the bakery and is the author of a best-selling bread baking book. Those of you who have enjoyed my bread have this man and his methods to thank! And of course we ate a great variety of bread while we were there.
On Saturday afternoon we caught a matinee of "Sister Act" which was quite entertaining. We stuck around afterwards since it was pouring outside, and grabbed a photo in the gorgeous lobby.Our hotel was near Times Square and we swung through the global gathering place several times.
The wedding reception provided a great opportunity for dancing, and everyone joined in. It was a multi-generational gathering, and the oldest couple there has been married for over 55 years! The youngest on the dance floor were barely in grade school.
On Monday we had the chance to visit Jacob's favorite spot, the American Museum of Natural History. Run for your lives!
I hung in there at the museum for a long while and then departed for another famous bakery.
