:: photo taken by me in Tampa, Florida at New York Pizza (2009) ::
Thursday, June 18th Lolly and I caught a flight out of Tampa at 9:20am. We moseyed our way through the line to check our bags and get boarding passes... and then through the security line... and then through the Starbucks line. Only to hear our names being called over the loudspeaker. Oops! We almost missed our flight and were the last people to board the plane.
I started reading Twilight and Lolly flipped through my July 2009 Elle with Gwen Stefani on the cover. The flight was quick. We landed in Long Island by lunchtime and Caroline picked us up from the airport. It was raining... and had been raining in New York for weeks. Everything was so green and lush due to all that wet weather. It was refreshing!
We settled in at Caroline's parent's beautiful home on Long Island. AND decided to be adventurous, even though we were all sick, and travel to the city. After all it was the ONLY time that we would really have a chance to go to the Big Apple.
Passing a Graveyard in the Rain
After going shopping, almost getting lost in Macy's and wandering around Times' Square... it was time to celebrate International Sushi Day! We thoroughly enjoyed our Planet Tokyo, Super Devil and Dragon sushi rolls in a red-lit sushi bar. Delish!
Empire State Building - Erie!
Friday, June 19th was a day of getting prepared and pampering ourselves. Caroline's mother made the most amazing French toast for breakfast. Suzie, one of the bridesmaids, came and scooped me and Lolly to run some errands - picked up the dresses, did a little last minute shopping and got some things for Caroline. Then all the girls met at the nail salon to get beautified! I should have taken a photo of my gorgeously airbrushed French manicure and Lolly's French pedicure, but forgot that detail.
After all that we changed into our pretty dresses and were off to the church for Rehearsal... and then to the true Italian restaurant for the Rehearsal Dinner.
Me, Caroline and Lolly
Saturday, June 20th was the first day of summer and also the BIG day! We woke up early to fresh New York bagels and got our hair styled in beautiful up-dos for the wedding. The day was spent getting dressed, made-up and ready for a day full of photos and love. The wedding was heartfelt and perfect in every way. I'm so happy for Tommy and Caroline!
Newlyweds!!!
The most fun was the Reception. This has to be one of the best weddings I have ever been to! Wonderfully fabulous location on a golf course. AND... it didn't rain until we were all inside celebrating with the newlyweds! Everyone had a great time dancing, drinking, eating and enjoying the company. It was a night to remember!
Tommy & Me (wearing his silly glasses)
Sunday, June 21st we departed back to hot and humid Florida. Suzie was kind enough to let Lolly and me crash on her sofa bed and take us to the airport. Thanks for everything Suz!
I continued reading Twilight and Lolly did some homework. We landed in Tampa and it was 99-degrees with super thick humid air. Welcome home. We both wished we were still on the Island. New York holds a special place in my heart... can't wait to go back!

Next time... It's me, you and La in the city the whole time. We can find a little hotel and sleep in plastic sleeping bags but we need to do it right! Little Italy, China Town, Greenwich Village, and Central Park to see Alice! I love you so much! It made it sound even more magical to me!
