st patricks day!

back to nyc to frolic with ian while he was in town for ‘work’.

that meant getting to be with two of my faves at once. yippeee!

kara, ian and i celebrating st patricks day eve:

the next day was st patricks day!  and, as any self respecting 1/8th irish girl would do, i joined my st paddys day family, nice and early, clad in green…  at the bar :)

ezat, ian, garett and myself patiently awaiting our pints:

and of course we had to see the famous nyc st paddys day parade:

 

ok. enough of that. back to the pubs.  new york city’s finest celebrate:

and… oddly enough, not too many photos taken after that point.  weird.

the next morning brought a sun shiny day, and pleasant walk back to the bus. 

along the way i spied the empire state building:

looks kinda different when you’re right up next to it:

 

back to dc.  i miss my st paddys day family already…
