Another weekend in NY

Living in Ohio, sometimes it seems like my home, NY is just too far away. It’s too far for a weekend trip by car (it’s hard to rationalize 15 hours in the car for a day or two trip), and planes aren’t always the most affordable options. Luckily, for various reasons (some not-so-lucky), I’ve gotten a chance to go home and see my family quite a few times the past few months. And that includes this past weekend! A few people from my agency were being recognized, as well as a client I work on, and I was lucky enough to attend a formal event in New York City for the awards ceremony and celebration.

After the awards ceremony, I was lucky enough to spend some time in the city with my brother, and then some time upstate with my parents. It will be at least a month until I see them next – and probably the last time I visit my brother at his school before he graduates (I can’t believe my brother is graduating college this year!).

Some scenes from a great weekend:

Jennifer and I (our client was up for an award) at the program

SO impressed with how clean my brother's dorm was! — SO impressed with how clean my brother’s dorm was!

pre-dinner drinks at the top of the Standard Hotel with my brother

Dinner with Greg. We waited outside this Indian Restaurant for 30 minutes and then were allowed into a scene with TONS of holiday and pepper lights.

And free ice cream for your "birthday" — And free ice cream for your “birthday”

Also took the train up to Albany and got some great views

And of course, as most weekends at home do, there was also a little baking

tomato mozz — and of course, some GREAT meals

It’s always so hard to leave – but after a great weekend with food and family, and one of my favorite cities, who can really complain? Here’s to a great week!

You mean to tell me that 15 hours in a car isn’t worth it for 2 days in NYC??? Ha, I kid. 🙂 Definitely not. But NYC is pretty amazing and I’d absolutely do it as much as I could. Looks like a fantastic weekend! I love Indian food! And that view! When I visited NYC about a month ago I made sure to hit up a bar that had had an open rooftop so I could snag a view like that. #freezing but so #worthit lol. Happy Monday!

Welcome to I Crashed The Web — proof that I’ve been oversharing online since the early days of blogging. It started as a blog (back when that was cool), morphed into a mom blog (when that was cool), and now it’s my happy place for all the things I love: running, baking, reading, traveling and life with my family of five.
