Sights around the city

How great is this reading light???

This sculpture exhibit in the Flatiron District is going on through August.  These sculptures have been placed atop various buildings in the area.  They're kind of creepy.






Rufus Wainwright in Prospect Park in Brooklyn.
The sun setting outside our hotel window.
A quote I found on 23rd Street that seems so relevant right now.

Charleston

We just spent 5 days in Charleston with my family...beautiful scenery, great food + lovely beaches.





Yes, the water is a greyish, green color, but it's warm and extremely inviting.  A pleasant surprise!!!

These two cannot be photographed without posing.

2nd Anniversary in Turks


We just spent the most wonderful long weekend in Turks for our anniversary...we saw all the familiar faces at The Palms, and were even welcomed 'home' by two of the locals.  The lovely people at our hotel sent us a cake to celebrate.






Ahhhh....zen.



Here's Grace Bay Club....where we had our wedding.  It's so beautiful at night.


And The Gansevoort, which just opened a year ago.






And best of all....Amanyara.  This is by far the most beautiful place I have ever seen with the most amazing food I have ever eaten.  After dinner, we asked to see one of their rooms.  We were beside ourselves.  Take a look at their site...mind blowing!!!!  It took 30 minutes to get there from our hotel and most of the roads were unpaved.  It's a trek, but so worth it!

A few more pics from Mexico


We took a catamaran tour to a beautiful island...
Here we are swimming off the back of the catamaran...the water was crystal clear.

Miami Standard Sundays

Today is the Summer Solstice and it's cloudy and rainy here in Omaha...which makes me wish we were still in Miami enjoying the Standard Hotel's Sunday gatherings. Every Sunday they have what they call Love Life Sundays - which combine yoga, food, dance + culture. Here is a small clip of one of their celebrations...

New Yorkers

Love this!
