Amelia and Marc - you know the number

well, if you don’t, it’s 7. I promise we’ll stop counting off our visitors once we’ve hit the designated limit.

The Mahan’s flew in on Thursday, October 27 for a chilly, Halloween-ish weekend in New York. We all met up for dinner at our – mine and Ashley’s – favorite Jamaican restaurant, Maroon’s. Maroon’s has lots of great southern dishes, wonderful macroni and cheese, the best jerk chicken, grits, etc. Fantastic!

On Friday, we met at another favorite restaurant – Mama Mexico’s. After dinner, we went to see the Producers which now ranks as one of my favorite broadway shows. And I finally get Ashley and Taylor’s inside joke -”your tie is Ah-SKuuu”

Interesting side story here. Marc and Amelia didn’t have in-depth conversations with many New Yorkers excluding Ashley and me. But on Thursday night, we had a fairly long conversation with a video store clerk while we were touring the Village. And then on Friday night after the Producers, we stopped at Dale and Thomas popcorn in Times Square (best popcorn in NYC,) and the guy behind the counter is none other than the video store clerk. I don’t mean someone who looked like the video store clerk… it was the same guy. He and Marc recognized each other. Weird, huh?

On Saturday, we went uptown to take the NBC tour and then took a stroll around Central Park. Here are a couple pictures from Saturday. To see more, you’ll have to join Flickr and let me add you as a Friend. (Our blog isn’t very picture friendly. It sort of blows our the proportions. But they look better on Flickr. I think it’s the page layout…but I’m not sure.)
