Twenty Hours roundtrip in a car, countless miles walked around the city, a couple of disease possibly contracted from the subway, and lots of funny things said this weekend. Here are some of the random observations and things we learned on our trip.
1. Bobo (Adrianne) used cruise control for the first time. I'm so proud of her.
2. Pennsylvania and 1-80 do not love Wendy's. We waited at least one hour before coming across an exit that donned that glorious picture of the pigtailed red headed girl... I think Dave Thomas would roll in his grave if he knew about that.
3. Boyz II Men & Dashboard Confessional make for great "sing-a-long in the wee hours of the morning" cd's.
4. NYC is hard to navigate when you haven't slept in over 19 hours. They need to quit hiding tiny street signs behind big steel poles. I will say that FDR Blvd. IS a nice drive, but does NOT have many options to turn around if you need to.
5. Brooklyn is sterotypically right on the money in regards to how it is portrayed in movies. Complete with a) lots of Italians who love to decorate what little property they have with statues of the mother Mary, b) Mobsters, and c) women with big hair, thick accents, and fake nails.
6. I love the oversaturated market of nail salons on the east coast. It makes getting a manicure and pedicure for $19.99 possible.
7. People in Manhattan are mean. People in Brooklyn are nice.
8. I love the variety of good food that NYC has to offer. But hate the prices.
9. I miss living close to Corrie and Matt.
10. Going to Brooklyn Tabernacle is one of the highlights of the trip. It made me long to be in Heaven singing praises to my God.
Here are some pictures for your enjoyment...
Le Petite, The coolest restaurant in Brooklyn.
The best dessert offered in NYC. Pinkberry is a must, if you're ever there.
This would only happen in NYC. Just to let you know that a) This is a man b)thankfully we only saw him from this perspective c)i lose my appetite everytime i see this.
Thanks to Corrie and Matt for letting us stay at their beautiful apartment. I had a good time...

How's the Viastro? Seems like we haven't seen you guys in forever. Which probably means we need to have you over for dinner.
