Here is an update on Dad's nose. He made it to NJ and was in good spirits all weekend. He is getting it realigned today. Yikes!

So we flew to NJ on Thursday after a small delay.
Gobbled up some Chinese food with my parents and Mat's parents. Check my parents into the hotel and went to bed.

Friday we picked my parents up and headed to a diner for some breakfast.
Took the train into the city and went directly into ground zero. They had just opened up the train tracks that run through the site so it was kinda eery. Mom/Dad hadn't been to ground zero so it was nice to take them there.
Went to Century 21 to do some shopping.
.Took the subway to the MOMA and toured that for a couple of hours. We met up with Katie and her husband Michael who were in town as well. It was great to see them again.
Went to Union Square for dinner with Dan, Caroline, Terry, Jon and my family. We had tapa's at Pipa. Super yummy but I think you all know how I feel about tapas. You never get full!
Anyway, we headed to the theater to see Fuerzabruta.
It was just as cool as the first time we went to see it. Everyone talked about it all weekend so it was a big hit!
Went for some ice cream and headed home to NJ.

Saturday was the Tainow Kentucky Derby party. We picked up the parents and had some breakfast at the Tainow's. Then everyone started arriving for the party. There was probably a little less than 50 people there. The race was at 6ish. It was a great time with lots of people, friends and family.

Sunday was Fran's birthday party. We picked up the parents and had about 20 for breakfast at the Tainow's. We all got dressed and headed to the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey. It was a lovely party. Her art show was amazing. So many family and friends, many who I had not met yet. My parents were there. Everyone was surrounded by so much love, it was fabulous. Lots of pictures and speeches honoring Fran. It was a great time. Mom and Dad had to leave for the airport. We picked up some pizza and went to Fran's house to reminisce about the party. We looked at all of the "90" scrapbook pages. Each one so individual and unique. Some were plain and some were elegant. It was a great time.
