Tales from the U.E.S: Update...April

(Molly Post)

So we have been terrible with the blog, we know. And there is no way we will be able to catch up properly and try to write about current events at the same time. So the next few posts will (attempt to) sum up the past few months very briefly.

April: Kevin and Jessica's Visit, Trip to VT, BBQ

In April, Cody had more friends visit. One of his best friends from Steamboat, Kevin, and his wife, Jessica, came to visit. They were here for a long weekend. We took them all around the city: Central Park, out for nice dinners in SoHo, Chelsea and Upper West Side, to the Botanical Gardens (and Pugsleys Pizza as long as we were in the Bronx!), the Met, and the Natural History Museum. And of course, we took them to a few bars. We had a great time. Below are a few pictures.

In April, I took a trip to visit one of my friends, Carol, in Vermont for the first time since she moved there...it took two years, but at least I made it! It was a short trip - a 3 day weekend. I had a great time visiting with Matt and Carol...and their two dogs! On Friday when I got in, we went to dinner to a great pub-type restaurant. Saturday consisted of "girl-time" - we had lunch, tried on wedding dresses (well, Carol did), and wandered around town. That night, I made dinner for Matt and Carol - risotto - and we watched a movie. Sunday, we hung out around their house for most of the morning, then grabbed lunch before I had to go to the airport. Below is a picture of me and one of Matt and Carol's dogs - I had such a good time hanging out with dogs for the weekend!

Finally, in April we had the first BBQ of the season at Reif's. It was a little chilly, but we had a lot of fun eating good food, enjoying great company, and (of course) playing big buck hunter!
