Laura Comes to Brooklyn, Or, 5 Things Katie Loves About Laura


A couple of weekends ago, we had the honor of another college-aged sister visit -- this time it was Katie's sister Laura, who is currently a sophomore at
Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, GA. Over the weekend, we: 

- perused the Greek and Roman wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (actually Laura was the only one who perused it, according to the word's true definition) 
- ate at The Chocolate Room (see previous post) 
- went to church 
- walked along the promenade at night 
- saw The Secret Life of Bees at our favorite neighborhood theater
- ate some cheap Thai food 
- stopped by Court Pastry Shop for a bag of Italian cookies 
- drank hot chocolate at the Tea Lounge 
- and even got our nails done. 

On Monday, Laura (an education major) fulfilled a project requirement by observing a class at the Brooklyn High School for the Arts taught by our friend Carolyn. She spent Tuesday traipsing from Midtown Manhattan to Central Park and back, and after work Katie found her happily camped out at Subtle Tea (where Katie's coworker had spotted Julia Roberts the week before!).

Daniel had to leave us Sunday afternoon for Boston, where he had a quarterly business meeting. The sad result of his being absent for most of Laura's visit is that we don't have a single photo from her trip (sorry, Laura!). So instead of the usual array of photos of our adventures in and around Brooklyn, I'm posting one of my favorite pictures of Laura (above) along with a list of five things I love about her:
