As some of you may know, Ryan is pretty tennis obsessed. The words "vamos" and "the bull" are common in our house. Right now he is wearing an ode to Nadal T-shirt even though there will be no "bull or "vamos" this year as sadly Rafa is injured. Knowing about this obsession, a friend of ours got us tickets to her company's box at the US Open, last Monday night. After an insane day of assembly (more on that to follow), it was cool to feel fancy, attend the opening ceremony, and be crazily close to the court. The lobster rolls and enormous carrot cake weren't half-bad too. We also did some celeb spotting (my favourite part) which included Alec Baldwin, Stanley Tucci, Anna Wintour (ooo!) and (how-awesome) Zach Braff! We watched Kim Clijsters from Belgian beat a newbie American, Victoria Duval and then were treated to Roger Federer up-close and personal, such were our seats for the evening. The photos just don't do it justice but here goes in any case.
Alec, Stanley, Anna and Zach are behind me, I swear.
Awkward self-portraiture.
Kim, getting ready to pounce!
There's ol' Fed playing Donald Young.
Last year when we went to the open, we sat in the pleb seats. I prefer the box myself. It's the only way to roll.
