New York New York

Jared had his last interview earlier this week at UCONN. He was going to be staying with his Uncle in Carmel, NY and they had all these plans like go into the city and see the Rockefeller tree and all the lights. After leaving me and Addi behind for a week and having fun without us we decided we weren't going to let that happen so we went with him. Despite the fact that we got back a day late because of weather and I now only have 2 days until we leave for Utah and I am not done with my Christmas presents it was quite a fun trip.

I learned a few things from this trip. The first one is that I do not want to live in NYC or at least I would not have a car if I did. NYC drivers are crazy. On Saturday night when we flew in we thought we would go check out the city before driving to Jared's uncle's house. I thought I was going to die. There were cars everywhere cutting us off, running us off the road. Despite the law against honking your horn everyone was honking their horn. I don't know how anyone would know if the horn was for them or not. After an hour and a half of that we made it to the parking garage. I was glad to be out of the car, but making our way through all of the people with a stroller wasn't much easier. We did have a fun little trip together despite the traffic. We tried to do experience New York. We got hot dogs from a street vendor, bought a painting of NY for $3 right before the cops shut the guys down, as a police officer where to get the best slice of pizza (turned out to be a very small place that the 3 of us barely fit into with the stroller), looked at all the fun shops, watched the ice skaters and saw the Rockefeller tree. Addi and I had a little photoshoot in Central Park and watched some street performers while waiting for daddy to meet us. All in one weekend we were in a car, on a plane, took the train and the subway and went on the ferry.
