Welcome 2010!!

On New Years Eve we took the train into New York City to celebrate with a party at my Aunt Liz and Uncle Andrew's house. We got into the city in the afternoon so we decided to spend some time sightseeing. We went to the New York Public Library to see an exhibition on the history of mapping the New York shoreline. They had maps dating all the way back to 1609 and Henry Hudson, it was very interesting. Neither of us had ever been inside the library before so it was really fun to look around, they have so many free exhibits that we want to go back and check out.

Next, it was time for the party to begin! They are always such amazing hosts and this was no exception. They had tons of delicious appetizers, wine and of course champagne. The extra special part of the evening was a gorgeous fireworks display that went off right at midnight! From their window you can the see the fireworks perfectly, flying right over Central Park. New Years is a special holiday for Jeff and I, we got engaged on New Years Eve 2 years ago. It is always fun remembering back but then also welcoming in the new year together.

Happy 2010 Everyone!!!
