Mab Visit = Good food, Guggenheim, 9/11, and the Twins!

A couple week's ago Brennan's mom, Mab, came to visit. It's fun having visitors because it forces me to break my routine and remember that I live in New York City! She spoiled us rotten, it was a blast.

Here's a highlight of some of our adventures...

 Brennan and I in front of the Guggenheim museum.

 Inside the Guggenheim, looking down. Such a cool building.

 The 9/11 Memorial. This place is quite amazing (thanks for the pic mab). There are two pools in the place of the Twin Towers. Water flows down on all four sides and empties into the square in the middle. It's quite beautiful, and so significant of the amount of loss and grief experienced that day.

 The water flows down, never filling up the pool, and falling into the abyss of unknown.

 You can't see the bottom of the pool, as if it is never ending.

 The names of the victims circle the two pools. It was quite emotional.

 Here is one of the towers being built.

 This is called the Survivor Tree. It was found in the aftermath of the attack and was planted on the memorial.

Whew. So that was a lot of emotional stuff, but we also went to a Yankees vs. Twins game! And, the Twins won!! New York was not happy with us that night, but we had a great time cheering on our home team.

It was a great week full of fun times! New York ain't so bad when visitors come!
