Mother's Day in Richmond 2013

May 13, 2013

In between a work week in NJ and Switzerland, I spent the Mother's Day weekend in Richmond with Angie and her family. It was convenient that my parents were also visiting for the weekend. Leung & Williams family quality time!

Happy Mother's Day!

Saying goodbye after a short weekend with family, and the girls were off to Taylor Swift's concert.

NJ/NY - May 2013

May 11, 2013

I headed to the east coast for a week of work on Monday. I went on a beautiful morning run to help with the jet lag along the Hudson river:

On Tuesday night, I headed to Kinnelon to have dinner at Megan and Tom's beautiful house. It was such a treat to see a different neighborhood of NJ, "lake country". Gorgeous.

On Wednesday night, I headed to Maplewood, NJ to check out the new home of the growing Margulies family. Another awesome neighborhood!

On Thursday night, I headed into Manhattan with Jerald and Nana for dinner at the Hurricane Club. On the way, we cut through Madison Square Park and checked out Orly Genger's "Red, Yellow and Blue" exhibit, very fun and provocative.

Hurricane Club girly drinks!

Appetizers to start: Coconut shrimp, peking duck potstickers and a sushi roll

I had the "Hurricane surf and turf" of lobster and wagyu steak:

Some sides of bok choy and Hawaiian fried rice:

Fun place, great drinks and pretty good food! I heart Manhattan restaurants.
