Friday night, we decided to have a relaxing movie night in our new apartment. However, redboxes seem to be a scarcity here in the Upper East Side-- 3 mile run to the nearest one, so needless to say, I got my workout in. We watched....
The Hunger Games.
We had been wanting to see it forever. It was good, we both stayed awake anyways, which is a rare thing during movies in this Marsden house! However, I'm always shocked at the story-lines people come up with. Parts of this movie I felt were just too much.
Saturday we ventured down to Pier 96 , and took out the free Kayaks on the Hudson river with some friends from the ward!
THEN, Saturday night we decided to take the Metro over to flushing Meadows and walk around where the US Open was going on. We talked about how it would be so awesome if we could somehow weasel some free tickets off someone, and then sure enough...... we landed some free tickets! New York Newbie luck I guess. ;)
Cheers for a perfect first weekend as New Yorkers. :)
