Thursday Night:
Dee and Shay came over. We had dinner, drank, chatted. Went to bed watching I Love Lucy.
Friday:
Woke up at 5 am. Got ready, got coffee, and headed to South Station. I jumped the gun a tad and we were waiting there for quite a while. Finally, our train came and our trip officially began.
After 4 and half hours on the train, we arrived in New York. We got a cab (after one slowly hit Shalaine- no worries, she wasn’t injured.) and drove around the block to the hotel. Checked in, drank some wine, and then headed out.
We ate lunch at a Cuban restaurant, Havana somethingorother, and got virgin drinks with the price of alcoholic ones. After that, we changed and went to The Met. Unfortunately, it was $20 per exhibit, so we just glanced around the lobby and then headed for Central Park. We walked around, took photos, and then it was time to go to FAO Schwartz.
Dee and Shay weren’t too happy with the long walk down fifth avenue, but once we arrived in the store, they were plenty excited. After FAO, we took a cab to the village and shopped around in some vintage stores. Then, back to the hotel for dinner and cocktails. Dee didn’t feel good, so she took a nap while Shay and I made our way back to the village.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t get her into the 19+ club because they were readily checking IDs when we arrived. So we just ordered dessert and cocktails and watched “17 Again”. I also sort of accidentally locked Shalaine out and fell asleep. Whooopsies.
Saturday:
Woke up around 8, took a shower, and did a Starbucks run for the three of us. I woke the girls up, we ate, and then went to Times Square for some souvenir shopping. We each got a few cute things to bring home and then grabbed our luggage and headed to Penn Station (but not before they got some NY hot dogs). Once we were on the train, the trip seemed like it went by in a flash.
After I got home, Travis came over. We smoked and had some drinks. I haven’t been that out of it in a loooong time.
Overall, it was a fantastic weekend that I am still recovering from! =]
