penelope takes manhattan

Photobucket
we spent this past weekend in new york city, to celebrate my husband's birthday and to spend some time with theresa. theresa has always wanted a "little yellow puppy" so we couldn't resist taking penelope on the road trip...


definitely an adventure. walks were a challenge, with literally EVERY passer-by stopping to pet and coo, but worth it when one such admirer was JONATHAN ADLER and his pup, liberachi. ah, if only i had had enough guts to ask if he needed a PVD based assistant. next time.



my mom and i took theresa to see "shrek, the musical" and it was a thrill. the costumes, music, acting, humor- wonderful. and just so special to share a first like that with theresa. 
a wonderful friend hooked up us with a backstage tour afterwards, which was the icing on top- being able to see all the sets and costumes up close... not to mention being able to meet the phenomenal actors and actresses!



i love a good visit to the city, but it leaves me wiped. nellie feels the same way. 
we took it slow this morning.

happy monday!
