Monday: Part 13 of a 13-part series of photos documenting my trip to New York:
- JV’s parents held a family picnic the day after the wedding. Lots of good food, and luckily it was under some shade because boy was it HOT out!
- Tossed around the football for the first time in a while.
- Final cousin bonding time, said our goodbyes.
- Took off for Newark Airport, waited an hour or so for our departure time.
- I didn’t get a window seat on the plane, and my aisle was right next to the wing! Fail.
- Arrived at O’Hare, picked up our baggage, and took the blue line to my brother’s apartment, and from there home sweet Lincolnwood.
… and that was my trip to NJ/NYC. I had a blast and have been missing my family so much. Sorry for the layover between Parts 12 and 13, I moved back in at school and have had a lot of stuff on my plate lately getting into school mode. That and wordpress image uploader is acting weird. More posts coming soon, and some big news!

Wednesday Afternoon: Part 3 of a 13-part series of photos documenting my trip to New York:
- Met up with Carag to go to a Yankees Game
- New Yankee Stadium: it’s nice, but I was expecting more out of a billion dollar stadium (like there aren’t enough defining features).
- I ate (and spent) too much. Did you know they sell Sushi and Steak here?
- It was pretty overcast all day which sucked, besides getting rained on a little bit. They also made me check in my bag and twirl around while lifting up my t-shirt.
- I got asked if I wanted to buy a Fukudome pin for $1 by a random stranger (I was wearing my Cubs hat). I declined the offer once I found out it wasn’t free.

Tuesday Afternoon/Night: Part 2 of a 13-part series of photos documenting my trip to New York:
- Took the PATH for the first time from Newark to Jersey City
- Relaxed at Sam’s apartment after a long flight
- Drove into the city (via the Holland Tunnel)

- Went bar hopping in East Village
Photo notes: I’m still being lazy and didn’t adjust the white balance for any of the night shots. More WP gallery shortcode.

… I mean Hummus. Dave and I went to eat @ Pita Inn after the Soccer tourney and picked up some more food at the shop next door.
Edit: Wait, now that I think about it, I think Dave was looking for Falafel.
