Good Morning Friends. Today Casey and Brittany are going home and although I'm sad to see them go, I'm happy in a way because I'm exhausted. I didn't take any steroids since I'll need them for my vacation next month and I can't take them that close together. So I did this weekend visit all naturale....and barely made it. One more day and I'd be toast.
We really had a great visit. We did everything. On Friday we took Ray, or grandpa, out for the day with us. We went to the mausoleum to see mom, out to lunch at a family favorite near Pocono Raceway, then we picked up an ice cream birthday cake for Casey to take back to Mrs. Bush's. Casey turned 18 two weeks ago. Ray got to keep the leftover cake so that made him happy. It was a great day spent with Ray. I s:urprised him. I didn't tell him we were going to see Casey and his face was full of shock when he opened the door and saw him. It was great.
Saturday we went to Long Island to my friend Brian's grave. Brian was Casey's "uncle" and they were very close too. Then we went to meet Uncle Teddy at Hooters. Afterwards we spent some time with Uncle Teddy at his house then came back to PA.
Sunday we did NYC. We started out at ground zero then went uptown. We did lunch at Stage Deli and had the best NY pastrami sandwiches. Then John and I went to see the USS Intrepid and Casey and Brittany walked down Fifth Avenue and over to Times Square.
Today they hit the road and go back home, but we're meeting them for breakfast first. Then we'll sleep for a week....hahaha.
I took a few pictures. I'll post them later. Casey and Brittany have my camera at the moment since they forgot theirs.
