They came, We played, They Left

I had some super fun visitors last week....

Oh So Fun

PD and Kelli Mayfield came to NYC for a whole week!  It was awesome.  I have known both PD and Kelli since my freshmen year in college.  PD and I were in college together and then on a Campus Outreach staff team together at PC.  Kelli was on staff with CO as well and then we lived in the same apt complex in G Vegas last year and became great friends!   The three of us also spent a summer in South Africa together.  PD and Kelli got married a year ago and then moved to the midwest to attend Covenant Seminary.  It was so fun to get to spend a whole week with them and show them my city!  

I know they will just love that I am posting this picture, but I was so excited to have them stay with me. I am in between roommates right now and so it worked out perfect.  I did make PD sleep on the hard floor, but he didn't mind. Just Kidding! :-)

We did so many fun things while they were here. They toured the city while I was at work and then we did different things in the city each night.  We spent time in Central Park, went to a new park downtown, ate at a bunch of cool restaurants that I love, went to Brooklyn and walked over the Brooklyn Bridge, hung out in Time Square (it is so fun to show people Time Square at night. There is just nothing like it!) went and saw the Lion King on Broadway (it was amazing!), shopped on Canal Street, walked the streets of New York, and on and on on ! Below is a picture of us at this really cool outdoor restaurant on the Hudson.  We were actually eating on a boat.  Ben is pictured with us.  He is a mutual friend that  was involved in the same college ministry as us. He is a doctor and is doing his internship in NYC.  

Who recognizes this picture???? I'll give you a hint, one word.  SEINFELD!

It is just a normal diner that happens to be on every episode of Seinfeld.  Kelli really wanted to get a picture of it. 

Hanging out in Time Square after watching "The Lion King"   It is happening place no matter what time of day you are there. 

Kelli use to always borrow my clothes and jewelry, so she was super excited to get to have this opportunity again:-) And I just thought it was funny

On the Subway.  

Kelli took pictures of EVERYTHING while she was here.  I just had to put this picture in.  This is a little bodega on my street.  These are all over the city and this is where us New Yorkers do our shopping.  There is a lot of character in these places, but I have to admit sometimes I just really want a TARGET or maybe even a WAL-MART.  I still have not gotten use to shopping in this city.  

Kelli and PD are gone now and it is back to normal life for me.  Last week with them felt like a little vacation for me.  Thanks for coming Guys!
