We had an enjoyable visit with Chloe's PaPaw, BeBe and Aunt Deanna. Chloe got lots of attention and that always makes her happy. It was nice a cool during my parents and sister's stay, which was a break from the 100+ temperatures of Texas.
We had a great time exploring the nearby Hudson Valley wine region on Thursday. We also visited an local artisan cheese maker and area produce stands.
Friday turned out to be a bum of a day as our main pipe burst again, flooding our basement laundry room and leaving us waiting for the plumber all day.
We ventured into the city on Saturday and had wet, rainy weather for our excursion. We had a not so pleasant walk through the East Village, searching for a restaurant that wasn't there. Luckily, after someone (who shall remain nameless) misreading directions it finally dawned on them that we had circled the restaurant about 45 times as they tried to decide if it was on 5th Avenue or 2nd Avenue or 2nd Street. We finally arrived at Otto's Restaurant (a restaurant we have been to before, so you think we could find it) and had an enjoyable meal. We then ventured to Murray's cheese shop and other shops in Greenwich Village. We never got to show PaPaw Central Park, but I don't think he trusted us to find it anymore after our restaurant-search fiasco.
On Sunday, we watch Matt & Deanna race in a local Porsche auto club autocross. Both Matt & Deanna won their class!! (Should I mention they were the only one's in the class?) They had fun and it was fun watching them race.
Chloe enjoyed all the visitors and we look forward to having the family back again for Christmas in NYC. Hopefully, we will have better directions this time.
