Turkey Day in the Big Apple

Finally it was time to say goodbye to our mom, and drive further east into the heart of Long Island for our last set of shows. This adventure led us to the streets of Amityville, which is site to the true story horror movie! AHHH needless to say we made our trip there short and to the point! We then made our way through Thursday night traffic off of Long Island, and back through Manhattan to get to Castleton on the Hudson NY! We spent the weekend recuperating from our NYC adventure, and then found ourselves in Springfield MA for the week leading up to Thanksgiving. Springfield may have been the most ghetto (unpleasant) of places that we've been to during our journey. As a matter of fact little did we know, but the car wash/gas station we were at was robbed! It wasn't until we were questioned by a Springfield detective that we got wind of the illegal activities going on inside! Happy to leave Springfield in the dust we made our way back to New York City to spend Thanksgiving with our Uncle Jim, who was coming up from Florida to visit friends. We had an awesome weekend taking in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from 57th and Broadway, eating a delicious Turkey Dinner, doing just a bit of shopping on Black Friday, eating dinner at a great little Italian place in the "village," getting a view of Times Square from the Mariott Hotel, and finishing of the weekend by adventuring through Manhattan to get some NYC style food network worthy PIZZA and Cheesecake! A weekend in NYC wouldn't be complete without a starsighting and while eating dinner on our first night there we spotted Luis Guzman from The Count of Monte Cristo walking the streets of Chelsea. We were sad to leave the Big Apple behind, but we had a wonderful weekend visiting family, and beginning to feel like New Yorkers.
