we headed north for thanksgiving and had a great time visiting with jeff's family. jeff's mom cooked a pretty traditional american thanksgiving meal (see ceremonial wishbone breaking) and we got some nice time in the outdoors and in NYC. so fun! we saw the rockettes (thanks Akon!) and hit "Top of the Rock." the kids loved seeing the Yankees store, the M&M's store, and climbing the rocks in Central Park. I do love the city. I really love the energy it has, the brisk air, and the BIGness of it all. And though the roads are awful (so busy and full of crazy drivers) i think New Jersey is the quaintest place--such lovely towns and parks and coffee shops. really, it's surprising but true.
It was especially nice to get away, away from my house, my chores, my controlling ways, and just BE and relax and let Jeff lead the way. ahhh.....the drive was long (can't do that often) but we have a really great hotel that breaks up the trip. and the kids just LOVE the whole hotel scene. they love all the multiple tv shows they get to watch, the early-mornin-king-sized-bed-snuggling that happens, and the huge breakfast buffet that is served.
Thanks Akon for all the photos. I took no pictures myself. i was off-duty in every sense.
