Hollaaaaaa! This past Monday was my Mom’s birthday so we (my rents and a freshly shaven Rob) went to this awesome restaurant under the Brooklyn Bridge called The River Cafe. Once my mom told me they made a chocolate dessert shaped like the Brooklyn Bridge, I knew it was for me. We sat right by the window with beautiful views of the bridge and lower Manhattan. I love the pic of my dad cuz you can see the Woolworth Building where he works glowing in the background. It was a glorious time and I wish y’all coulda been there too! Click below to see more pics!

comment by Bee — March 30, 2007This blog made me dizzy and instantly regret not staying in NYC two weeks ago. I was snowed in…maybe it was a sign?
