birthday weekend

we celebrated ben's 34th birthday this weekend! it started out with william and i arriving at his office with balloons. 
then that evening we headed to the us open tennis event. we loved walking around the grounds and being able to watch the matches on the smaller courts from up close. in arthur ashe our seats were near the top, but it was still great fun watching roddick beat sock. we may need to make this a tradition.
our friend josh also came in for the weekend and to celebrate ben's birthday. one day we took william on his first carousel ride. it happened to be a solar powered carousel that was fast!
on the way home we took a little tour of downtown to washington's inaugural site and the new york stock exchange.
happy birthday b. i think the cougars won just for you. we love you!

Okay, next year we want to be part of your tradition to go to the us open. I totally want to do it.
Happy Birthday Ben!
