Thanksgiving Weekend 2011 - part 1 of many

There were so many different "parts" to our Thanksgiving weekend this year that it is going to have to come in sections.  We drove across Pennsylvania on the Wednesday before -- a cold and somewhat dreary day.

 Here we are coming through the Delaware River Gap.  I guess I'm always wanting to take a picture of this bridge.

NY City looked like Gotham City as we approached.  Traffic was heavy.

 As usual, we got stuck at the George Washington Bridge.  Next time we are going to follow what our GPS suggests, and drive an extra few miles to take the Tappan Zee. 

It was dark when we got to New Rochelle, but not really late.  It seems it's pitch black in NYC by 5pm these days.  We tried the little Italian restaurant just down the street again.  Posto 22.  I like the tro-colore salad.

Ooma's apartment was warm!  (We had the window wide open with the air conditioning running on high!)

Next morning, Thanksgiving Day, was gloriously sunny and getting warmer!

 The trees are still leafy and colorful here ...

 From the window you can see all the way to Manhattan and pick out the Empire State Building.
