Birds of a Feather

While I was flying around town with my aunt and cousin, who came to visit, KR and AV made a trip to the suburbs.

That's right- they went to Target AND Chili's. And to be quite honest- if I hadn't just been to Texas last weekend and found a cute pair of peep-toed heels and southwestern eggrolls along the way, I would have been jealous.

We had serious rain on Friday and Saturday, and New Jersery was not spared. KR and AV hopped on the Path Saturday morning and spent the day roaming the well-stocked and un-crowded aisles of Target. I returned home from my afternoon at the Met to find their always-tidy room askew with new lamps, wedge espadrilles, boxes of granola bars and a multitude of red and white plastic bags everywhere.

Despite their clearly damp jeans and soaked ballet flats, they were in high spirits. Sometimes nothing puts a smile on your face more than finding a cute sweater in your size, as well as your favorite breakfast bar within arms reach of each other.

They received lots of eye-rolls and "are you serious-es?", but they continued on their journey, and were rewarded with inexpensive toothpaste and free refills.

And you know what? Maybe everyday in New York isn't glamorous, but we are never lacking in entertainment.



We make our own fun.
