A Weekend in Delaware & The Showdown!

I know, I know... It's been forever since I have written in my blog, but let me tell you, between the promotion and longer hours, the endless amount of laundry I have, and now the triathlon training and fundraising, I'm slacking.  So I apologize; but I come bearing good news- I have an update on what I did last weekend!!

I was able to go to Delaware with my mom to visit my brother!  We had a ton of fun!!  My mom got in on Saturday and we drove down to the University of Delaware to spend the night with my brother!  We hung out all day walking through town and ate at Klondike Kate's that night! It was great to spend time with my brother and hang out with him on campus!  On Sunday we went to the Lacrosse game and watched UDel win in overtime!  It was a beautiful day, and because of the weather, all I wanted to do was take pictures and sit outside!  Here's a recap of the weekend in pictures!!

On Sunday, we drove back to NYC!  Mom and I went to Eataly in the Flatiron District and had an Italian feast while we watched the Oscars.  Not my favorite Oscars to this date, but definitely was fun being able to watch with my mom!

On Monday, we explored NYC some more.  We traveled down to NYU and walked around, then walked to the West Side, had lunch at Chelsea Market, did some wine shopping in Union Square and then headed over to Madison Square Garden for the BNP Paribas Showdown!  I got mom tickets to this event for Christmas and we were able to see John McEnroe play Ivan Lendl and our favorite, Andre Agassi play Pete Sampras.  For me, it was like a dream come true, and for my Mom, well let's just say she was reliving Agassi's career!  It was an amazing time and I loved Madison Square Garden! Check out the pictures!  The tennis ones are courtesy of USTA- I couldn't bring in my good camera, and mine were a little fuzzy!

As you can see, we had a ton of fun, and even though Andre lost, it was amazing being able to see him and Pete play again.  We had a great weekend- packed with tons of exciting things as usual... when you live in the city there is never a dull moment!! Hope you enjoyed the pictures!!

Now back to training for this triathlon!
