Well, we're back from our wonderful, though hectic as hell, weekend in Jersey & New York. Yeah, I know I didn't post anything about the trip coming up, but last week I was lucky I had time to breathe, let alone post. Anyway, despite feeling exhausted, I had a wonderful time! The drive wasn't too bad, considering I'm not one to really love traveling (driving) all that much. The scenery was spectacular, with the mountains covered in multi-colored foilage, although on our trip there, it was a dreary day with fog and drizzle. The ride home today was sunny and clear, so we were able to see more than we did going.

We arrived on Saturday around 3ish, checked into our rooms, and just hung out for a bit. After we unpacked and relaxed, we headed out to find Times Square. With map in hand, Hubbs manuvered us along the highways, through the tunnel and into New York City without a hitch! We parked, and before you knew it, we were looking at Times Square right in front of us! Woo hoo, it's one crazy friggin' place I'll tell ya! Throw in alot of rain, a zillion people rushing in every direction, most with umbrellas over their heads, and you get the picture. We just jumped in, and went with the flow, darting across streets, trying not to get run over by any cabs or buses. We really had no clue where we were going, but we managed to find a few things we wanted to see, like MTV, The Hard Rock Cafe, ESPN, you get the picture. The funny part of it was, that Hubbs was carrying my umbrella, a white one with pink and green tulips on it, and man he really stood out in the huge crowd! One guy on the street even made a comment about it! We were starved at this point, and without knowing where anything really was, we kinda were on the lookout for a place to eat. Problem was that every place was either filled, or had an hour or more wait, and we didn't have that kind of time to spare. (to be continued................)
