Back to the Future

Dan joined a car club here in New York so he could drive the Sims when we were in town.

He, Nick and Will had an appt to drive today, and I found a fantastic spot to stretch out and read.

If I hadn't just had breakfast, I could have ordered food too.

Rippling water, light breeze, sunshine and a book.

Afterward we saw the matinee of Back to the Future.

It was non-stop fun, fantastic acting, great dancing, songs with heart and great sets.

Not to mention, Becca was a standout in her performance.

She's so much fun to watch and its so fun to know someone in the cast!

The DeLorean onstage was pretty amazing too.

I highly recommend for families or just adults -- especially if you grew up in the 80's.

We've been having fun hitting new-to-us restaurants in our neighborhood.

Osteria Accademia was a standout.

Amazing homemade pasta, generous portions, and blow your mind pricing before 6:00.

($15 for a huge plate of gnocchis!)

Darling wait staff (with Italian accents and friendly smiles when you can't pronounce Tagliatelle correctly.)

Finally, I LOVED eating in a dining room surrounded by books. 

The boys wanted to workout when we got home and found a seedy Gold's Gym in midtown.

Dan and I binged more episodes of The Bear and played a few games of Quixx.
