Our work schedules coincided with time for another vacation back home in Long Island. Having no one to house-sit Ginger, we decided to drive back - a pleasant 13-hour experience on a Friday afternoon! We got home safe and went into NYC the next day to see friends and cousins of Michelle. We wrapped up with a beautiful afternoon in Central Park, with thousands of people soaking up sun and lounging around. Later we got to see Ginger and the aging wonder Coquette hang out (notice her tongue sticking out after all her rotten teeth were extracted!)
The rest of the week was spent relaxing at home and enjoying some beautiful weather in LI. We made it down to Jones Beach with my brother Zachary for some sun & fun. Later that evening we went to a delicious Indian restaurant nearby home:
Got see my Uncle Seymour, Aunt Arline, and Janis the following afternoon in Port Washington as well, with Seymour's beautiful wall art collection on display:
Finally my father and I got to have some manly "bonding time" catching fish on the Fishfinder boat out of Captree State Park. We each caught one fluke, mine was the 2nd-largest on board (unfortunately no prizes for 2nd place).
Got back late Saturday night, and starting work officially as 2nd-year fellows on Monday. Thanks to our hosts for a wonderful week, we'll be back in late August for some wedding celebration!
