We had a lovely holiday weekend. The weather was perfect- 75 to 80 degrees, sunny, low humidity. I'm not sure how long this low humidity is going to last, but I'm loving it.
On Saturday afternoon we walked down to Union Square to buy groceries at Trader Joe's. I do love Trader Joe's, because it makes grocery shopping so much fun. The TJ's at Union Square is absolutely ridiculous! It's the size of a normal store; however, approximately 40% of the store space is devoted to cash registers. There were probably15 cashiers. The lines for the registers curve all the way around the perimeter of the store's interior. They also have employees who are responsible for holding up signs which tell customers where the end of the line is. I stood in a line of about 35 people for maybe 6 minutes. This was considered a slow afternoon for TJ's. Next time I go to TJ's, I'll take photos for you.
After our grocery shopping, we walked through a farmer's market and hung out in Union Square Park.
It's a beautiful park. See the guy with the laptop? When New Yorkers hang out at the park, they like to get work done. This is the apple cider we bought at the farmer's market.
It was unusually tasty.
John loves apple cider.
All of our closest friends were there.

One thing I love about TJs - they always ring their little bell and open up more cash registers if there's even the slightest line. :-)
