 we heard a lot of good things about Dinosaur BBQ...

all rumors were true,

we stuffed ourselves to the max with some of the best barbecue i've ever had!

tommy was thoroughly enjoying his wings! 

A Weekend for the Arts.

Finally, I got around to posting about a wonderful weekend we had a while back. 

(like a month ago...) 

Yikes!

A couple girlfriends got together for dinner at Stand 4, where we devoured amazing toasted marshmallow shakes. 

It's a must.

Then we spent the rest of the evening singing our hearts out at an Ingrid Michaelson concert.

It was a blast, so much fun.

 Still can't believe how amazing she is live.

Saturday night was date night.

 We saw the New York City Ballet perform the Nutcracker. 

Something I've always dreamed of seeing. 

I loved every minute. 

The boys stayed awake for the most part. 

A big thanks to the skittles we snuck in! ;)

Lincoln Center is beautiful. 

Tommy & Amanda 

Amanda "Koch" Smith.

She owns the place!

I was able to sneak one (terrible) picture on my phone.

It was a great weekend with some of my favorite people.

Night's like these are why I never want to leave the city.
I have to admit, I'm in love with NY!!

Blaze.

 Blaze was such a great night. A group of us met at the Smith's for chicken tortilla soup, corn bread and pumpkin cookies. We then caught the train for a 45 minute trip upstate to the Historic Hudson Valley. This event called The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze had 5000 pumpkins hand carved and on display. I can't imagine how many hours went into carving these amazing pumpkins. I love Fall.

Hot cider and doughnuts were a must on this chilly night.
