brooklyn bound...

last weekend i enjoyed the nice weather we had here in the city...went walking around the UWS neighborhood and did some window shopping...ended up at the boat basin, a large outdoor cafe that faces the hudson river with a cool atmosphere...enjoyed some refreshments there while doing some people watching :)...

sunday i decided to venture out to brooklyn to the atlantic center mall...i found it online while doing some research of different areas and of course being from the midwest, i love me a good mall...this one was ok, not too big, but had some good shops that i like...i was excited to finally be heading outside of manhattan for the first time...rode the subway over the brooklyn bridge and got a different view of the city....i wasn't in an area that i'm looking to move to, but it was super close to the cafe where my book club meets, which is tonight...excited to meet some new people and maybe find a good friend or two!

tuesday night our office went on a little teambuilding bowling outing at lucky strike...for anyone who's been to star lanes at newport on the levee, it's the same set up (lucky strike owners started star lanes)...a boutique/loungey bowling experience...great food and drinks...everyone had high expectations of me, coming from the midwest where bowling is more common...i wasn't the highest overall scorer but i was decent...broke 100 both games so that's all i can ask for :)...

emily is coming for a visit this weekend and we have lots of fun things planned...and my first book club meeting is tonight...so i'll have more to write next week!...
