Labor Day- Date Weekend

On Labor Day weekend we headed to Long Island for some family time and some free babysitting (love you Nana and Granddad!).  First up on Saturday was the US Open.  We've been almost every year since we've been married, and I really missed going last year when I was breastfeeding.  So it was super exciting to be back at the US Open- there's just something about watching it in person with the NY crowd.  And Andrew and I always fill out brackets to compete against each other so we feel like we care about each and every match.  So fun and such good tennis!  And this year we got to attend with Steve and his son and Vasanta.  Loved going with tennis loving friends!

Before the tennis started, we attended a breakfast.  Besides delicious food, we got to meet Luke Jensen and Tracy Austin.  It was so cool to chat with them and hear Tracy's take on playing tennis and the tournament this year.  We also got to play a tennis trivia game, and Andrew, of course, got the hardest question right and won a us open towel, hat, and key chain.  

Vasanta with Tracy and Luke.

Nishikori vs. Mayer.  So fun to see Nishikori play and then watch him go all the way to the finals.

Me and Vasanta

Djokovic vs. Querry on Ashe.  Wish it had been a closer match.

Watching Serene on Ashe.

And then our favorite place to watch tennis- grandstand.  Tsonga vs. Carreno Busta.

And the Bryan Brothers on Grandstand.

What an awesome day of tennis!  Andrew and I ended it with xiao long bao at Joe Shanghai.  Yum.

And then on Sunday, we had another awesome date in the city.  While Samantha hung out with Nana and Granddad we headed to the city to see a Broadway show for our anniversary.  We went to a Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, this year's tony winner for Best Musical.  It was hilarious and so fun to see a show together.  We also had a wonderful dinner afterward but forgot to snap a picture.  Too busy enjoying the date day (thanks Nana and Granddad!)
