We have decided that this is our LAST trip across the state of Pennsylvania. It was 34 degrees when we left, colder in the mountains, and spitting snow.
But by the time we got to the Delaware Water Gap, the sun was out and it was warming up considerably.
Great view of NYC from the GW Bridge. Traffic seemed light, and we took the "lower level". We hit some snarled traffic once we got over the bridge, but made it in time for dinner at Posto 22 in New Rochelle.
Wonderful antipasta and tri-colore salad.
We finally met Jeff and loved him!
From here we readjusted to apartment living - (above) walking in basement garage, and (below) the rickety old elevator.
Jubilee gets in and faces the back corner until she realizes that everyone else is facing front.
And we take our walks over to the CNR ...
On Christmas Eve morning the sunrise created a lovely glow in the windows of the chapel.
Some of the trees have these HUGE buds on them ...
And the houses of the neighborhood. On the right is the one (with the ferris wheel in the window) that I obsess over ...
Stone walls ...
Then around the corner and back to the Ramsey ...
Another door to get through ...
Jubilee made the best of of life in the apartment.
Some more of the lovely things that are every where around; all things that Ooma has found as bargains in tag sales.
We made it over to Scarsdale to see Minnie, Mia and Mary Lou. This is Minnie's gingerbread house.
What are these people doing? Why, watching the Giants-Jets game, of course. I saw that run by Victor Cruz and am now a fan!
Blessed Sacrament Church on Christmas Day ...
Christopher with the extraordinary Christmas Day antipaste!
The entire antipasta spread ...
Chestnuts ...
All of us ...
The cannolli and spooyadels.
and more ...
The GW Bridge as we crossed back over it (for the last time for awhile). Traffic was light and it was all easy. Got much colder as we headed west. Snow today!
Glad you are back home safe and sound. The PA Turnpike is such a stretch. All that antipasto has been hungry!!! Hope you had a great Christmas. We are expecting a dump tonight as well, although Environment Canada has reduced its expectations from 40 to 15 cm. I'm heading out to get provisions for me and the boys to tide us over a few days.
ReplyDeleteWe mostly take Route 80 across, Barbara - they are both about the same distance, but there are less trucks (and no tolls) on Rt 80. After going over so many NYC bridges (at $12 a crossing) over the weekend we are cash poor now, and had no money for any more tolls.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but holiday seasons are emotionally trying for me, and I stay in a bit of funk.
It has been pouring rain here all day. We were going to see a movie but the temperatures are dropping fast and I'm afraid we would come out of the theater to nothing but ice.
Stay warm with the boys!
