Slip Slop Slap!

Summer is officially here so its time to de-fuzz the legs, paint my toes and bring out the oversized sunglasses!

With all the excitement heading up to warmer weather, I decided to do the most sensible thing possible and book myself in for a skin check. Unfortunately the dermatologist had to remove 2 moles on the a spot and I have had to be re-booked in for a full body check later in the month.

I urge everyone to please make the time to have your skin checked - sooner rather than later.

And of course SLIP SLOP SLAP: Slip on a teeshirt, Slop on some sunscreen, Slap on a hat.

Candy's Last Night

For Candy's last night we headed to PJ Clarke's, one of the Curtis family's favourite places in NYC. Its easy to see why, it could be best described as America's finest attempt at a pub! It had great food and a good atmosphere, and we sat at Frank Sinatra table in the corner.

It was a lovely way to end the trip, the time went too quickly, we miss you already!

Dylan's Candy Bar

Once the boys had headed home, Candy and I decided to re-live our childhood and go to "Dylan's Candy Bar". This is a 3 storey candy and chocolate extravaganza that was founded by Dylan Lauren, daughter of Ralph Lauren.

You can buy sweets from all over the world as well as discontinued treats from all era's. Most importantly upstairs is a traditional sundae bar, complete with ice-cream sodas and over 15 varieties of chocolate sundae's.


















Heaven!!

Memorial Day....Part 2

After the service at the Intrepid, we all met for lunch near Central Park. It was wonderful to see the boys after almost 2 months!!

Poor Miles was tired after a long day......

...........but Davis was wide awake and ready to see Central Park.............

So David got the pleasure of carrying Miles......

.....but who doesn't love to be carried?

Memorial Day...Part 1

For David's first Memorial Day back in the USA, he headed to the service at the Intrepid Air-Space-Sea Museum.

He was joined by Mick, Erin, Davis and Miles and together they enjoyed the memorial service, the aircraft carriers and other things warcraft!

















Note the Rabbitos hat :)

Cue the Top Gun music........

Big D. and Little D.


















Can you spot Candy and I in the crowd?

















No? That's because we were shopping :)

Mama Mexico

After the shenanigans at brunch we arrived home for a quick nap before heading out to dinner. We decided to try a local Mexican restaurant called "Mama Mexico".





















It was somewhat appropriate given our guest and our love of mexican food.
















We enjoyed an authentic Mexican meal complete with crab crepes and Mexican flan - thank goodness we had a small walk home!

Sunday Brunch at Pastis

Is there a better way to spend a Sunday than at brunch? I think not.

Around noon we arrived at Pastis a traditional French bistro located in the Meatpacking district. It was a glorious day with the sun shining and temperatures well into the high 20's. It was truly the start of summer and it was fantastic to have everyone together to celebreate with some champagne!

David forever surrounded by the ladies.

After enjoying too much champagne we decied to take full advantage of the long weekend, and headed to the Penthouse Bar at the Gansevoort hotel. We enjoyed a fabulous view of the Meatpacking district and the Hudson river................

............some more drinks

.........a few kisses.............

..............and then some dancing to Madonna.........

"......True love .......You're the one I'm dreaming of....... Your heart fits me like a glove........ "

..........oh the embarrassment!
