I have been battling a cold the last couple of days so sorry for not keeping up with the blog! I actually stayed home from work on Wednesday.
Last weekend we went to Brooklyn to visit Rachel and Rusty it was great fun! The ride up was really nice, it was a pretty warm day. On Saturday night we enjoyed dinner at Sea, a Thai restaurant in Williamsburg and then some beers (Prosecco for me) at a German hot spot. We returned to the swanky new pad that the Steeliman's call home were the boys smoked their pipes (on the rooftop deck with a spectacular view of NYC) and Dan was given a lesson in rolling cigarettes! He did not need to know this Rusty but thank you, now Dan is completely versed on tobacco products and paraphernalia. Winks, the beauty (their kitty) practiced her hissing abilities on Dan who I believe was tormenting her the way he does to Lorenzo!
On Sunday we headed out early for the Brooklyn flea market, lots of great things to buy there but none of it would fit in the car. I am better off without more "things". We had brunch at a cute tiny little place I think it was called Lolas and then it was off to DUMBO a fantastic area full of home and furniture stores. Loved it! Though the guys did not. They smoked their pipes and followed along. We stopped at a shop where I purchased this pendant lamp designed by Simon Karkov for Norman Copenhagen. Love love love it...this flower will look very pretty over our dining table. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvP4SdbgcDTJfo484QHLF-12ClYwfG_3Jiqncwt8THgcnIz48LikFVJPIOj-Tt44jWD9hCgLEN3QUoE90jITScgRuV_9aCGFU7QwHoVY52maDz8SyxRBVjskAOHq1MIlV6k_7ueK3-O7Aq/s320/norm06_medium.jpg)

It was a full day and we ended up back at the Steeliman ranch to cook dinner. We enjoyed our weekend with the R's, it was wonderful to celebrate Rusty passing the bar exam and our anniversary!
Monday morning we were on the road again back to DC but not before we stopped at the Tiny Cup (what a great name) for breakfast.
Happy Aniversary to us.
