Weekend Away in NYC

This past weekend, Mommy and Daddy went up to New York for the night. It was our first night away from Owen. Phil's parents came up to watch Owen and Betsy. They both did really well with them - didn't even seem to miss us when we got home.

We visited Kathleen's old roommate Liz and her husband Michael while we were up in the city. We had lunch and walked around midtown with them... just enjoying being in the city. We had dinner at an old favorite restaurant: Burrito Loco.

We stayed at a B&B in Chelsea for the night. It was actually very nice. When we got there, they upgraded our room to a larger room. It was very nice... even though we didn't spend much time in it. We'll definitely stay there again in the future!

We went to a concert while we were up in the city. It was a Mardi Gras party featuring three New Orleans bands: Tab Benoit, Bonerama, and Big Sam's Funky Nation. The later two are funk bands that we play for Owen when he's upset. The venue wasn't that nice, but the music was great!

After the concert, we managed to get to a stand-up show at a comedy club that we used to go to (The Comedy Cellar). And we're glad that we did, because we were treated to a special guest appearance by David Allen Grier! The other comedians were great too! We had a nice full evening in NYC, but really wanted to come home to Owen and Betsy the next day!
