We decided to use the February
school break as a time to catch up with a couple of friends we haven't
seen in a while and to catch a show.
We left home on Saturday
morning, February 13 and headed for Rockland County. Bev, one of
Marcia's college friends lives there with her husband, a retired
NYPD lieutenant, their twin sons and two dogs. We spent a couple of days catching up with her and then
headed out Long Island where we spent a couple of days with Richie and
Hillary. Rich was David's college room-mate. Rich and Bev were both in our
wedding. We had a very relaxing four days.
We left Long Island on
Wednesday morning and headed for North Bergen NJ where we usually stay
when we go to NYC for a show. We got to the hotel just after 11 AM
and hopped a bus and headed into the city where
we spent the afternoon walking around.
When we got back to NJ, we
called one of Marcia's cousins that lives in that area. Janet and
Justin live just a few minutes from the hotel and they visited us last year when we were there. This year, we drove
up to their place and had some pizza and beer with them.

Using this slideshow ... click the "stop" button to put it in manual control. That will pause the show. While paused, you can click the left or right arrow buttons to manually go through the
slideshow, either backward or forward. Clicking the "play" button will put it back in automatic mode where pictures will advance about every nine seconds.

We
headed back into the city on Thursday morning and met up with Melissa,
another of Marcia's cousins for lunch. Melissa lives in
Manhattan. Janet and Melissa are both Marcia's first cousins, but
are actually about the ages of our kids! After
lunch, we walked over five miles in the city, had dinner at the Hard
Rock Cafe and then saw the musical "Jersey Boys." It is
the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and was extremely
enjoyable. We were on the road,
returning to Edwards on the 19th, where we spent the evening and all of
the next day filtering and bottling wine!
