Doris Kearns Goodwin is most recently famous for her book Team Of Rivals, which was discussed frequently during the 2008 Presidential Election. After we learned she would be speaking at her friend’s book signing in Brooklyn, we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge after work to see this Meet The Press all-star. According to Alyssa, Doris Kearns Goodwin was as classy and eloquent in person as she always imagined she would be (nerd alert). As if things couldn’t get better, they served free wine, cheese, crackers and salami at the event. Those who frequent our blog know that this is a big deal. Although we hung around uncomfortably close to Ms. Kearns Goodwin while she talked to her friends, we didn't get the opportunity to meet her. That didn't dampen our spirits though because again, there was free wine, cheese, crackers and salami.
After the event was over, we walked back across the Brooklyn Bridge and enjoyed the amazing skyline views. Because this was a spur of the moment outing, our only photos were taken with my camera phone which, as you can see above, are not the best quality. That just gives us an excuse to walk the bridge again soon and post better photos!
