Fourth Hanson Brother


I thought it would be a good idea to do a weekend sum up post but now I realize that was a fail of an idea since I can barely remember what I had for breakfast, let alone four days ago! But I'll do my best. It was rainy and somewhat chilly the entire weekend, but as I mentioned before, that means less people! Friday, Morgan and I decided to venture to Central park. We were entertained before even making it onto the subway, i love a good break dancing group,gave them my last dollar, totally worth it. Central Park was lovely. Stopped by a garden cafe, saw some street performers, strawberry fields, and the John Lennon Imagine Circle. Then,we decided to wander until we found an interesting restaurants, passed up many unique choices after concluding that our attire would really only be appropriate at a pub. So a pub it was! Our outfits did fit in, but us, not so much. It was a locals pub, an Irish locals pub and when we walked in everyone turned to look, but some soccer game was on to distract them away from us foreigners. Half the bar was violently rooting for the yellow team and the other half for the red team. (we would later find out that it was the championship league final soccer game, so I suppose that justify's why everyone there was in such an uproar) Thankfully our server spoke English and we were able to eat some French toast at a tiny table in the corner. And since all we really do is eat here, the next event of the evening was out to eat at the hard rock cafe where I saw Jon Bon Jovi... memorabilia and other cool rock star stuff.

I'm not really sure what happened on Saturday and Sunday.

Monday! Memorial Day! Not many other New Yorkers were feeling very patriotic apparently, but we made a group effort to remind them why they had the day off of work in our red, white, and blue outfits. In case they didn't know why they had the day off of work. Original plan was to go to a street fair on the upper west side of town. Got there. Realized it was the day before. Called our friend Meghan who was supposed to be meeting us there to let her know plan changed, meet us at central park. We get to what we think is central park, tell her were waiting there and thankfully a bystander heard us being morons and told us we were at riverside park, not central park. Looked to our left and sure enough there was the ocean, we had made it to the edge of the island. Soooo, after we told Meghan to stop waiting in central park for us, things turned out great! There was a board walk, sunshine, cafe, and drinks! So our fail of a plan turned into a great day lounging in the sun. It was a spectacular memorial weekend!

Then I went to work today and listened to everyone's weekend in the Hamptons stories -_-
One Day! Okay a girl can dream....
