A New Meaning for E.S.B.

I've traditionally known E.S.B. to be 'Extra Special Bitters' as told to me by Red Hook and their signature ale. However, it also stands for EMPIRE STATE BUILDING!

Shawn & Donna Williams (and Rachel and Matthew) ventured to New York today for a Yankees game and a trek in the Big Apple. I met up with them at their hotel and we hit the highlights, starting with dinner at the Brooklyn Diner, past Rockefeller Plaza and the New York Public Library, up the Empire State Building, and through Times Square! All told, that's a WHOLE lotta walking -- especially for a woman who's 8 months pregnant! So good to see the Williams family again -- not even a month after my visit to D.C. -- I love it!

So, an altogether awesome night, but, let's see... how do I put this... if you're thinking it'll be a good idea to hit the top of the E.S.B. this summer, how about we enjoy a icy cold Red Hook instead and avoid the lines? :o)
