Guess what we did?

So after lunch we went back to the shopping center and went to Borders. As you all can see I couldn't resist, also I got to use my gift card! There was also the great opportunity for Lisa to buy a gift for her exchange with her friends from camp (who she is meeting tomorrow). Then we walked, yes walked, despite the wind chill causing the air to feel like -2F needles in our face, down to Times Square. Very fun all the theater lights and the stores, of course we made one loop around, took a couple photos and then high tailed it outta there into the nearest subway. Then it was on to our hotel in Uniondale. So let me explain why a hotel. Kristen's dad won tickets for a free night stay at a Marriott and so she offered it to us. It was really sweet and so we took her up on the offer considering the next 6 days would be 12 girl dorm, no privacy and loads of bunk beds. Anywho we were lucky that Kristen was so kind to pick us up at the station again on arrival and take us tithe hotel to check in, she even had a little gift for everyone. Then the long process of what's for dinner began, you all know what that's like and how tedious choosing what you are to consume can be. So despite a group of non-decision makers we managed to pick a nice place where good soup and bread could be found. On our way back we made a quick stop at Kristen's house to say hi and meet her cute puppy Maddie. Her mom is so nice, nonstop offering us food and drink, she even sent a cookie platter with us, so cute. Anyway gotta go and warm my core temperature back up with a nice hot shower, till tomorrow.
