Emily Comes to Brooklyn

Last weekend, Daniel's sister Emily visited from South Carolina -- she was on her fall break from North Greenville University, where she's currently a junior. We had fun giving her the neighborhood tour, which culminates in this fabulous view from the Brooklyn Promenade.

We also made a trip to The Chocolate Room, the chocolate boutique and dessert cafe conveniently located next to our favorite movie theater on Court Street. Em got Belgian chocolate ice cream and D and K both got hot chocolate.

On Saturday night the three of us saw Hairspray -- we even had orchestra seats, thanks to TKTS.

And strangely enough, Emily flew in on the same plane with several members of the choir at Duncan First Baptist -- she and Daniel's longtime church family in their hometown of Duncan, SC. They came to attend a music conference at the Brooklyn Tabernacle. So on Sunday afternoon, we went to hear them sing with the famous Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir.
