Surprise, Surprise

One of my best friends, Nur, turned 30 on Saturday.  She lives in New Jersey right outside of NYC, so I flew up for 24 hours to surprise her.  Turns out, her wonderful fiance also wanted to surprise her…he had a bunch of her good friends waiting at a bar to send her into her 30s with a bang

The best part was that Nur was so unsuspecting that she was literally in tears Saturday morning because no one was doing anything for her big day.  She was so happy and surprised, and I’m so glad I got to be a part of it!

Before the surprise at Quay’s in Hoboken, Kelly (who graciously let me stay with her in her awesome apartment in midtown Manhattan!) and I had dinner at 3Forty Grill.  Awesome filet…and they barely cooked it just the way I liked.  The mashed potatoes were to die for, as well…slightly garlic-y, but still so yummy.  The best part?  The martini’s.  I had a raspberry and 3Forty…which tasted like rainbow sherbert!

Little did I know when I was planning my trip that Sunday was Easter.  Opps.  I had a nice Southwest Chicken Salad from McDonald’s on my way home from the airport.  Definitely worth it…it was a great weekend!
