One of the greatest part about being here is having visitors! My parents came out to visit us and we were all able to go to the US Open. It was so fun having them out. We had so much fun shopping, eating, seeing the sights and just hanging out together. What I loved was that my parents knew their way around New York so well! So I pretty much just followed them. My dad use to work here back in the day and my mom would come with him occasionally- so of course they knew all of the great shopping places and restaurants!
Here we are at the top of Saks Fifth Avenue- great restaurant with such a cool view
So I wish we had more pictures... but since my mom wanted to stay in Saks for the next few hours (I think she could have been there for 3 straight days and would've been happy)... my dad and I went out and explored the NBC building, Rockefeller Center and other shops along the way. It was raining hard- but it was fun!
I have decided that New York's weather changes every minute! One minute it's blue skies... you think you're dressed appropriately... and then it pours rain and you have ruined your shoes =)
We took them back to our favorite burger place in Madison Square park and then watched the US Open on the big screen.
Of course we had to go to Serendipity!
US OPEN!!
The first match we saw was the men's quarterfinals
And then the next day we went back for the Women's Semi Finals- and saw Serena Williams play
Like I said- the best part is having visitors! But I have to say... it is even harder saying goodbye when they have to leave! When we left for NY, I knew that I was going to see my parents in just a few weeks, so it wasn't that bad. But when we had to say goodbye when their trip was over... that was of course sad. You always dream about having a great shopping extravaganza with your Mom in New York... down 5th Ave, Park Ave and Canal Street. So I love that we had that chance mom!! We had so much fun! Mom and Dad- you were so cute about everything- our new place we call home, Jeff's school, the Columbia Campus, etc. Thanks for such a great time! We love you!

i know NY is full of great restaurants, but you've got to try Becco. I don't know the exact address- just google it. it's a cozy italian restaurant, and make sure to order the pasta special where they bring various types hot to your table in the pan it was made in. Delicious!
Matt and I are so jeoulous you went to the U.S Open. Maybe someday we will make it there. How fun are your parents. So fun!!!
