birthday weekend
May. 16th, 2016 10:51 pmThursday afternoon, we drove to Valpo for a memorial tribute to Lynda at her school. It involved a lot of singing, and there was a video of photos. Sharon put all this together. Afterward, we went to a restaurant with her and Mike and the kids.
In the morning we drove home, switched bags and went to the airport. Flew to New York. Mike and Jill came up and we went out for drinks. In the morning, we saw the Library and then walked all over town, including a stop for Korean food for lunch, then a beer, then to their apartment. Then dinner, then cocktails, then back to their apartment. Then back to our hotel. It was near Times Square, and I was a bit drunk, so instead of going to bed, I walked around Times square for a while. I got about five hours of sleep that night.
The next day we went down around Houston for brunch, then walked down to Battery Park to catch the ferry to Ellis Island. We took a tour of the abandoned hospital buildings on the other side of the island. After that we met penpusher and went to a Scottish-themed restaurant for dinner. I had haggis and Lagavulin. After that Dean took us up to Serendipity 3 for dessert. I think we were in bed around midnight, so we got slightly more sleep than the night before.
Today we took a walk and met Mike for breakfast, before leaving town. We got home around 5:00.
I am so tired!
