trip back east

Ok, I admit it, I've been slacking. But...oh well! Here's my east coast vacation recap.

Jeremy and I flew into NYC & met up with his sister Mary and b/f Jordan who live in Queens.

After a quick shower, we headed out to Manhattan, yipee! First, we got our very own, Jeremy Sell American Gothic Special

The ignorant bliss here regarding the super late night ahead is astounding

Manhattan

Jeremy with our first Manhattans of the night at the bar we hit up after dinner
Yay! Greg showed up!
Oh, and, well just in case you need just bagels...and cakes and pastries and muffins...

The next day Mary made us some delicious blueberry pancakes and we headed back into the city. Here's Jeremy enjoying a delicious mango strawberry papaya smoothie courtesy of the big brazilian street festival going on.
Then we tried so hard to get down to the pier to take a ferry around to view the waterfall installations. We missed the last boat we could realistically take without missing our bus up to Boston. Luckily, we decided to take a walk down the pier and discovered we could actually see all 4 waterfalls from this great 4 tier deck!
This one was my favorite, under the Brooklyn bridge

There was one other one further away that was hard to see, then they shut off, so I don't have any pictures of that one.
Subway fun on the way to check out St. Patrick's Cathedral
And here we are! (like most of the time when I'm with Jeremy, he takes these lovely pictures!)

For labor day, we headed up to NH for a cookout with the family. But, before we ate, my dad surprisingly let me take his little 'baby' (my mom's nickname for it is 'beauty') out for a spin! Can you believe it?!?!
mmhmm that's right!
Oh, and I was given explicit instructions to let Jeremy have a try too :)
Then, it was time for the feast! Jeremy thanked everyone for their contributions and devoured it all.

That night we headed back to Boston to stay with Erikka and Jason!
The next morning, Erikka headed off to school and J & I met up with Raea, Brett & Sandy at the Neighborhood (pure gluttony!)
Then we stopped by a cute new store called Grand before heading out to Harvard Square, The Other Side Cafe

and the Boston Public Library

One of the special exhibits on display were these old war propaganda posters, which were pretty disturbing

Then, no Boston trip would be complete without a Sacco's Bowl Haven trip!!!

Erikka often celebrates her victories with the nearest wall

I kicked ass on my first game (only)

Then we grabbed a drink or two at Redbones

and Yves made an appearance (I think I might burst!)


Then Wednesday we headed back to NYC for our flight, but had a couple hours for Jeremy to hang out by some trash

and for us to eat some Ray's Pizza!

Oh, per Greg's suggestion, we also managed to check out The New Museum

Jeremy was able to snap this shot before we were told, no pictures allowed! Teehee :)
