Yay for Labor Day!

 Emily and I went to Portsmouth, New Hampshire over Labor Day weekend for her sister Abby's wedding.  I didn't travel East much growing up, so I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and cram as much in as possible.
We stopped by New Canaan, CT on our way out to tour Phillip Johnson's glass house.  We drove through Boston and ate on Newbury Street.

During a free hour before the wedding I drove to Maine and saw a lighthouse... It's back there if you look closely!

We saw the Book of Mormon musical by South Park creators Matt Paker & Trey Stone.  We walked on the High Line and ate at this place where Leonardo DiCaprio ate once... OMG!!
 
We stayed at the Ace Hotel and got upgraded to a loft!!  It was really cool.  This was the view from our window.

We saw the Flatiron building (designed by Daniel Burnham, Co-author of the Chicago plan of 1909 and Director of Works for the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893), the Statue of Liberty, and the  9/11 Memorial.
Then I had to drive home and I was really tired... but we had a great time, which is easy to do when you're not at work!!  Happy Labor Day!!
