Memorial Day Weekend: Driving



Maggie drove the entire way to New York b/c she knew the way from New Jersey, I didn't. The traffic was rolling along until we hit the George Washington Bridge. The temperature was irritating. The exhaust was exhausting. But we were soon drinking iced coffee on the sidewalks of cute little downstate villages.

Memorial Day Weekend: Jersey





Thursday night I went to New Jersey w/ Maggie. The first day of Memorial Day Weekend was friday this year. I woke up on the Jersey Shore. It was great. I took a nap on the couch in the morning: woke up and couldn't find Maggie. Then found her sleeping in one of the beds. We went for a run on the boardwalk and went to get coffee. We got a good look at the New Jersey-ans but didn't get too close. (At one point, near the 17th Ave Beach Maggie got nervous and made strange faces to fit in.) Before noon we were off to New York.
