Dad and I met up with my uncle and aunt on Lexington and 40th. They drove up in their rabbit and we headed for Chelsea. It's been such a long time since I've seen my aunt Patty and was great to see her again. We all had a great time catching up and telling old jokes...and new ones.
We toured around Chelsea into some shops and even found a Marrakesh hanut (store). We visited one of the most expensive clothing stores in the state and my overwhelming need for a knock-off designer bag only grew heavier.
Lunch was great, complete with a burger for me and eggs for everyone else.
We drove by the World Trade Center site and Graydon dropped us off as we looked around. The last time I was there, about 7 years ago, my mom, Patty, my cousin Emily and I took a picture with the twin towers behind us. It's hard how so many things have changed.
Later on we drove into the Wall Street area and Graydon drove like a pro. We had a Guinness for Grandpa at Ulysses's and then continued down to China town.
We said goodbye around 5:30 when they dropped us off at our hotel. It was great to see them and I'll have to come visit them more often.
That night Dad and I walked into Times Square and found some good New York cheesecake. We stopped at Rockefeller on our way home but the snow made us return to the hotel sooner than we would have liked. Brrrr....
