homeward bound...

Wednesday afternoon we packed the car, hooked the trailer back up and headed to New Haven, Connecticut to visit Danielle and Jason. The next morning we headed for Union Station and took the train into NYC. Jeff and I were so excited, neither one of us had been before!

The plan was to go to Soho but first we walked 5th Ave. and then over to Times Square.

 Trump Tower - we loved the trees growing on the side of it.

 Times Square

 and more Times Square... definitely sensory overload

A fashionably late lunch and drinks on the sidewalk in Little Italy... drinks in the afternoon always seem like a special treat! Our bar bill was more than the food :-/

Soho was fun and way less jammed packed with people than Times Square. At the end of the day we took a cab back to Grand Central Station (the cab rides are an adventure, in and of themselves!) to catch the commuter rail back to New Haven.

Tonight we will be back in Seagrove. I miss Sophie kitty as well as my bed.

Trip to New Haven Ct

Danielle and Jason moved to New Haven in November for her new job with Pfizer. I had never been to New Haven. They live in the Quinnipiac River Village. It's very quaint and reminds me a lot of Portsmouth, NH except with way more traffic.

This is a shot of the house they live in. They have the second and third floor. The first floor is an art gallery that is rarely open.

We took my "granddog" Bizzy for a walk at the river park this morning. The park is across the street from their home. Bizzy is definitely a busy boxer and needs lots of exercise.

The king of the kingdom is Crisco kitty... my mother would freak if she saw a cat on the kitchen counter. Luckily she doesn't read my blog ;-). Danielle and Jay have two other cats as well. Not surprising since she worked for the animal rescue league for 10+ years.

Talk about a trip back in time... Danielle set up one of the spare bedrooms with her childhood bedroom set, right down to the comforter . I didn't even know she still had it. Jason calls it the princess room and says they need to get a different bed set when his guy friends from NH come to visit.

Last night we stayed in, had a nice dinner and drank too much wine. Today we are heading to the aquarium in Norwalk. Tonight it's pizza from the famous Frank Pepe's!
