It’s Memorial Day weekend, so just like most other Americans, we’re focusing less on the the whole “memorial” thing and more on the 3-day weekend. (Don’t worry,we remember our fallen soldiers quite often thanks to my former-Marine husband).
We decided to leave our tourist-infested city to go bother some other snobs who also hate tourists– New Yorkers!
We usually take the bus or Amtrak, but chose to drive this time; that meant a lot of “I’m boooorreeedd,” mostly from me. The girls were fine. I did take some cool pictures along the way to pass the time…
There are a few things you’re probably wondering about, so let’s clear them up right now:
- Did the girls wear tutus for the trip? Absolutely. Swimsuits, too. Which is a good thing because we got caught in an afternoon thunderstorm.
- Are you still doing your vegan thing? You betcha! Fortunately, there are delicious vegan options on every corner. If I ever decide to do this permanently, we’d have to move here.
- Is that purple cast still on your arm? Yes, but only until Tuesday! (side note: if you ever accidentally wear a dress that matches your cast, you will hear about it. All.Day.Long.
- What kind of shoes are you wearing for all the walking in NY? Ok, you’re probably not wondering this but Dave was after noticing my flip flops. Since I didn’t bring any good walking shoes (hehe) we were forced to stop at DSW tonight to buy some… and also some platform wedges. What?! They’re comfortable!
So funny….I did wonder about your shoes. And,who would bother you about matching your dress and cast? I’d be buying more purple if I had a purple cast. I like matching! Plus, if it weren’t illegal and would break your heart, I’d steal your girls! They are too cute….I’d probably go ahead and steal you, too. You’re pretty cute, yourself. And since you’re obviously in love with that husband of yours, I guess he can come too. But, where would I keep you? I guess I will have to work out some details….although, I’m sure your mom & dad would be glad you’re closer. Alright…I’ll leave it up to you. Visit me whenever you want! I’ll be thrilled to have you!
Please, big brother, this was written in jest. I have no intention of stealing anyone’s kids!
Shandyloohoo! Thanks for caring about every little thing. If you want to steal my husband and kids every now and again, please do. Just give them back one day. Or we can trade sometimes!
