The Big Apple Takes a Bite out of Us

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ………..

We spent about a week in New Jersey and New York and it may take that long to recover. Since today is Liz’s birthday, we’re going to be a little selfish and stick to a bulleted list of events followed by a photo journal. Really, this should say it all …….

• Thursday, 6/25: Arrive at Uncle’s house in NJ
• Friday, 6/26: Wake at the crack of dawn to drive to Secaucus for Millionaire Mind Intensive
• Friday 9am through Sunday 7pm: Attend seminar, partially with our good pal Carrie, unable to reveal details of experience (seriously)
• Monday, 6/29: Hang out at Uncle’s house, recover from looooong weekend
• Tuesday, 6/30: Take train into NYC, check into our cheap Chelsea Hotel, begin walking
• Wednesday, 7/1: Notice we’re starting to get sick but still spend the entire day walking and walking and walking, oh and see the Statue of Liberty and the Financial District
• Thursday, 7/2: In spite of increased illness continue trudging; tour the Met and Central Park and go to the Top of the Rock; later go to dinner at Otto and see some funky hole-in-the-wall jazz with good pal Megan
• Friday, 7/3: Return via train to NJ and just chill; set off fireworks in the back yard
• Saturday, 7/4: Drive to Westchester County to visit the cousins and set more fireworks on the porch
• Sunday, 7/5: Exit NY, hello RI (again)! Still sick, frogs croaking away in throats ……
