Been A Longtime..

Hi guys!


Sorry it's been awhile. No real excuse, just fell behind.

So we've done some cool things lately. A few weeks ago we had to take Cooper in for a haircut. His groomer is over by Central Park on the Upper Westside of Manhattan so a couple Saturdays ago we took him on the subway and into the Groomer.
Cooper's not a huge fan of the subway, but he doesn't mind as long as he can stick his head out of his travel bag.
We had about a good 4-5 hours to kill while Cooper was being Groomed so we decided to grab brunch and then head to the Central Park Zoo. We went to the Bronx Zoo a few months ago and loved it. The Central Park Zoo is way smaller, but very adorable. We saw sea lions, penguins, monkeys, red pandas and rain forest birds. It was a cool thing to see and fun to explore. Central Park is HUGE. Every time we go there we see something different. I love it.
Here are the sea lions showing off to the crowds..

And here's Mike asleep on a park bench while I watched the sea lions

We got back to the groomer before Cooper was done so we got to watch them finish him up.. We were such dorks we didn't want him to see us watching him so we were hiding our faces from him.

So that's how we spent the weekend before Valentines Day.

For Valentines Day we went to Barbetta. It was awesome. Barbetta is the oldest restaurant in Manhattan and has a lot of history. It's in an adorable Brownstone and just beautiful inside... There were several different dining rooms all very elegant and romantic. There was a man playing a saxophone in between the dining rooms on the 2nd floor and then on the first floor they had a jazz bland playing swing music. After dinner we had a few dances. It was really fun and felt very New York.
