It was better than the Tooth-Fairy or the Easter Bunny. Sarah Mapes and her boyfriend Corey visited us for four lovely days here in New York City. They drove all the way across the country just to see us. I think they deserve a gold star for doing that in just 2 days. Whew, I reported on Easter's activities. Monday Sarah and Corey tried to visit the Statue of Liberty but got stopped because of a pocket knife. I guess there's airport level security for the Statue. Instead they came up and got some passes to the Natural History Museum from me. Every guy is happy spending a day with the rocks and dinosaurs. Girls don't mind them either :)
After I got out of work we met up with Sarah's friend Sarah who she went to high school in Alaska with. Sarah Combs is going to Columbia for her masters, so of course Sarah Mapes had to have a chance to say hello. We grabbed some pizza and dessert at a bakery, a good NYC standby. Tuesday morning Sarah had a class to learn about grant writing and budgeting for work. Once she got done we headed down to China Town to grab some delicious food from Joe's Ginger. You can't beat the steamed pork soup buns for tastiness.
We also managed to fit in a trek across the Brooklyn bridge to some excellent pizza and some more Sing Star karaoke. We had a wonderful time and now we just need a way to get from Denver to New York quickly and easily. Anyone who has an extra jet plane lying around should send one my way.
This picture shows Sarah and Corey leaving NYC for the last time on this trip. The next picture is one that symbolizes my feelings. If I had been the one in the middle and hanging on to everyone. I didn't want to let them go! But I'm very glad they came.
