A Weekend With Turtle Power

Little Sister and Allie visited this weekend.

The weekend included:

A whole hell of a lot of food.
A whole hell of a lot of our visitors burning CDs onto their laptops.
A whole hell of a lot of discussion about Herman's Hermits

Saturday we headed to Grimaldi's and the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory.


Obligatory Touristy Shot

Then Youthlarge took our guests on a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge while I headed to Floyd, NY for some Bocce which inevitably always seems to involve a lot of measuring.

On Sunday, Amy, Allie, and I headed to the NY Historical Society for the new slavery exhibit. While I wasn't overly impressed with the exhibit, I was quite happy to see how crowded the place was. They have had a problem for years with miniscule attendance figures. Almost every time I've visited in the past has been fairly empty. But not today. I suppose there is nothing like forced labor to get the masses stirring.
