....and a stopover in Palmyra and Nescopeck PA.
We spent Thanksgiving in NYC seeing the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, walking CenTral Park, The WtC sight, Statue de Liberdad, eating our Thanksgiving meal at a diner, spending Black Friday on 5th avenue (can you even ImAGiNe the CraZyneSS!), the EmpirE state Building, the American GIrL Place, Seeing WICKED! (My 2nd time on Broadway, France's first-he loved it!) Driving to Ithaca NY, (home of Cornell, Andy Bernard's alma mater hahahaha), eating at Subway with a certain Elder Bird...driving another hour North to the Hill CuMorAH and THe SacRed GRove...then driving back South to Stay at the EVe's home in Nescopeck PA (thanks Rebecca!) so we could wake up and go to Church to listen to AliSon's farewell (Alison is Jessica Main's sister aka my BFF) I ended up giving the closing prayer and right after the 'AMen' we got back in the car to go HomE after what seemed like a year of being away! We drove through Baltimore and DC to get back which had HEAVY TrAFFIC, so much so that hour planned 5.5 hour drive turned into a 10 hour loooong trek home, at one point we went a whole 7 MiLES in one HOUR! Awesome! But we are HOMe and happy to have had So much fun With all our Friends in NYC (The Hart's and Olsens) and to have DrivEn through SCRANTON PA. Dunder MIfflin anyone?
