Visit From The Doobas

This past week, George's parents (a.k.a. "Mamma & Daddy Dooba") came to visit George and me in New York. It was their first time to see how and where we live. We had a big time and are so glad that they were able to stay with us. Most of the time, we did more "New Yorker" things than touristy things.


One of the highlights was traveling about 30 minutes upstate New York to a place called Stone Barns. It is a big farm and restaurant built by the Rockefellers a long time ago. George's cousins, Mark and Emalee, live in Boston and randomly heard of the place. It is beautiful! If you've ever heard of the book "1000 Places to See Before You Die", it is on the list. {On a side note... George and I told our bible study group about our visit to Stone Barns and they found it quite comical that, out of all the things to do here, we Alabamians would choose a BARN as a place to visit!}


We also spent Sunday at the bottom of Manhattan at South Street Seaport. It was a gorgeous day, and the breeze coming off the river made it the perfect temperature.
