Sunday Brunch + Adventure

My friend Vin is in town from New York and on Sunday we took him out to brunch at our favorite English pub for some amazing food. The day was rather warm and beautiful so we all decided to have a walk around midtown to just explore.

Amy always shoots this look when people take her photo.

We were just peacefully hanging out in this pole sculpture when we got yelled at by a security guard. Easily my favorite shot of the day.

Our friend Vin from England (visiting via New York)! Amy and I met Vin when we lived in the dorms at Sacramento State when he was an international student living across the hall from us. We haven't seen him in 3 years so this visit has been a long time coming!

Our last stop was at The Beat record store. Karen was looking at Culture Club records when she came across a cover that had her name written in Boy George's hair (bottom photo). It's pretty hard to make it out in the photo though.
