Back from NYC
Hi! We made it back in one piece!! :-) We had a bit of a late start on Friday afternoon. I had trouble leaving work...but when I finally did, Seymen picked me up and we went to go see an apartment/condo/townhouse, that Seymen had seen earlier in the day with the realtor. He was convinced that it was the perfect place so we needed to postpone our departure for an hour so I could see the place too :-) It was really cute, and I randomly called Chad to come look at it with us since it was in his neighborhood. Seymen put in an offer for the apartment/condo/townhouse this afternoon, after a very positive reaction from my dad (we dragged him there on our lunch break too!)
Anyway...after a bit of a late start, we hit traffic near Syracuse. Then I got all confused because of driving to Boston so often, that instead of taking the Thurway to 87, we continued on 90 until we hit the Mass Pike! I thought I was going to have to jump out of the car, due to fact that Seymen was gonna kill me for not paying attention ;-) BUTTTTT it ended up to be OK. We were only 1 exit past the Taconic Parkway, so we just "pretended" that we "intended" to take the Taconic to Conn. to save money ;-) We made it there in 6.5 hours just in time to catch to train to Grand Central.
Anyway, we had a great time in the City. We met up with Seymen and his Aunt and Cousin Saturday afternoon and spent the evening with him having drinks and then dinner. It was awesome to meet more of Seymen's family. We had a great time, and it was awesome to learn more about Seymen's parents, uncle, and grandparents from the stories that his aunt and cousin shared. :-) (PICTURES FROM NYC)
Sunday we headed back to Conn. to get the car and met my step-sister Leslie for a late lunch. We then headed out and made it home (surprise surprise) with no hitches, no getting lost, and in 5.5 hours :-)
