The Weekend of Awesome Breakfast

For the long Columbus Day weekend I went to visit my sister in Brooklyn. To avoid driving on a holiday weekend I decided to take the bus. This is usually a fine way to travel, except when your bus driver misses an exit and you end up in New Jersey instead of New York. 6 hours later, I finally arrived in New York!

The next morning started off a lot better! Joe made Karen and I chocolate-chocolate-chip pancakes. He likes to flip them by hand.Once Karen and I got moving, we walked down the the Brooklyn Museum and saw an American water color exhibit. Karen obliged to pose for Belly Update #4 outside the museum.
Saturday night our parents ventured into Brooklyn for dinner. We took a picture and realized it might be the last picture of us as 5! Soon we we will be 6. Karen knew someone who was due a day before her, and one which was a day after her. Both of these women have already had their babies!
This morning I met up with my high school friend, Dave. He happens to live a short walk from my sister. He also cooked me up a nice breakfast of bacon and eggs. Dave has always been kind of techie, and when he asked me a few questions about my television all I could answer was the brand!
The weather was crazy, 85 in October? Notice how everyone is wearing t-shirts and our dinner was outside.

I returned to Boston tonight. Much, much better bus ride! I picked up some dinner and am thoroughly looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning. Gotta' love a three day weekend!

"I first ever niece or nephew"?

Clearly I won't be teaching the child how to talk; thank goodness

Best of luck and congrats to Mama Sweeney, (and Auntie Sweeney, of course)
