I went to NYC and all I got was…
…this lowly pack of cards.
For reals! This is absolutely the only thing I bought for myself. I must admit though, I do have a weakness for cards and I do tend to walk around with a pack of cards in my bag. I have no idea why, as I rarely ever find anyone who wants to play!!
So, I drove there. Me, sids, and the kids. Now, if you’ve been on road trips with kids, you know that you have to add about 2 to 3 hours extra to the time, and if you’ve been on a road trip with me, you know that could extend to about 4 hours extra. My philosophy is that the vacation starts the minute you leave the house, so I really really like to enjoy the ride and not get stressed out about “making good time”.
My philosophy is also that photographs are good source of amusement when waiting in a car for aunty sids to come back with coffee and such!
Anyway, we got into Manhattan, which was not really our intention – because like idiots we did not pre-plan a route and solely depended on our GPS, Sarah, to get us there – and Sarah went a bit nuts. The tall buildings, the narrow streets, the interference? We’re not quite sure what happened, but she and Sid were arguing every 5 seconds!
Meanwhile, I had to traverse Canal Street traffic on a Saturday!
Finally, we did get out of the city and safely to my aunt’s house in Queens.
We only got enough time to visit the museum while we were there. It was a superly short but fun visit.
