Our last posting was in March…WOW! We have been busy since then, but to tell the truth I am just a slacker when it comes to writing this blog! Let’s see if I can give you all a brief summary of our NYC (and beyond) adventures over the past four months…
1) March 23 – April 13: HONEYMOON TRIP!!!! We had a fantastic time on our three week journey through Portugal, Spain and France! If you want to see our photo album shoot me an email and I will send the link!

Eiffel Tower, Paris, France
2) April 23 – 29: Geoff’s Speaking Engagement at the IQPC e-Discovery Conference in San Francisco, CA…I got to go along for the ride! We stayed with Lizzie the weekend before the conference and then went into the city for four days. I ate at fantastic restaurants and went to fun museums around town while Geoff imparted his knowledge of e-Discovery on willing listeners (he’s very smart you know!) 🙂
3) May 1: New York Junior League Home Tour – Amazing! What a fun filled day of home touring in beautiful NYC. They do it again in the fall, so mark your calendars!
4) May 14 – 16: Ashley & Duane’s Wedding in Baton Rouge! What a wonderful time we had coming home for our friends wedding! Of course, Ashley looked stunning in her wedding gown and high heels and Duane was dashing in his dark suit – the ceremony took place at beautiful Mount Hope Plantation. I was so honored to be apart of the wedding.
5) May 30: Visit to the Cloisters in North Manhattan…what fantastic views! And the gardens at the museum and also in Fort Tryon Park were GORGEOUS! Definitely worth the trek up there 🙂

6) May 31: Memorial Day Pool Party in New Rochelle, NY! Geoff and I went and celebrated the holiday with his boss and family at their lovely home north of NYC. It was great to get out of the city and swim in a pool!
7) June 6: Crawfish Fest in Augusta, New Jersey. Geoff’s favorite event of the year! Good music from home is the main attraction and (usually) nice weather…this year, though, we were rained on! No worries! Once the winds died down and the rain subsided we were back out jammin’ to Marcia Ball and Railroad Earth! Good times!

8) June 12: Brooklyn Botanical Gardens Bee Day! We went for the 100th Birthday Party – what a pleasant surprise! Tons of gorgeous flowers and trees…also great love music and a small market area selling products made with or inspired by honey! They even have a rose named after me!!!
The "Camille" Rose
9) June 18 – 20: The girls came to visit for Lear’s play: On the Levee…wonderful play and fun seeing the girls!
10) July 3 – 5: Happy Fourth of July! We spent our fourth celebrating on Long Island with friends! Wonderfully relaxing!

11) July 7 – 11: Mother and Nanny came to visit! We had such a nice time…we went to see Billy Elliott, went on the Circle Line cruise around Manhattan, ate at Erminia (one of our favorites!) and just hung out! They didn’t even mind roughing it in our 450 square foot apartment! Real troopers!

12) I GOT A JOB!!! Somewhere in the midst of the above craziness, I was hired as Marketing Director at Les Trois Petits Cochons – a gourmet pâté and charcuterie company! I am super thrilled about this and it has been going swimmingly! Check us out at www.3pigs.com 🙂
