Last Friday my sister Marianne came for the weekend! We had such a good time. I am so glad she made the effort to come, especially because she is eight months pregnant! Right when she got here we took a train to Hoboken, NJ where we visited the famous Carlo's Bakery. We couldn't wait to see if it tastes as good as it looks. Of course we had to buy a little bit of this and a little bit of that. We bought cupcakes, cannoli, cream puffs, and many other pastries. We promptly took them to a park and tasted them all!

| They were yummy but we did feel a little sick after so many sweets! |
Saturday morning we visited the 9/ll Memorial. It was amazing to think that where those two large pools are there were two skyscrapers! The Memorial was very neat. The architect said he wanted to create a massive void, a large empty feeling symbolic of the void left in the lives of those who lost loved ones that day. He was successful.

| The "Survivor Tree", it was the only thing left standing after the attacks. Very symbolic... |
The Cake Boss??? Carrie will be so jealous! She always wanted to visit there while I was still there but it never worked out> Glad you are getting to do so many fun things!
