random road trips rule!
--------------------
what a crazy, fantastic long weekend!
originally, it was a simple plan to just have an overnight getaway to niagara falls, then perhaps spend the day at Six Flags Darien Lake (riding the Superman rollercoaster, of course!)... well, we did that...
along with a whole bunch of other stuff... to say the least!
we decided to make the most of the long weekend and, on a whim, extend the road trip to my favourite city... surprisingly, we made it in one piece without getting lost, despite not planning ahead (as someone with OCPD like myself is wont to do)... we wandered around Central Park, saw the matinee performance of A Street Car Named Desire and Chicago in the evening, and basically spent the day soaking in (literally at some points in the afternoon) the Big Apple... the shows were fantastic, and no amount of raving could really do justice to describe the awesome experience (especially for theatre buffs like us) of seeing something on Broadway...
after many hours on the road and many songs in the car and many (American) dollars spent shopping (YAY outlet malls!) and on travel expenses, we got home monday night -- exhausted but very enthused... spending this awesome weekend together went a long way to bring us closer after recent events, and it (along with the increasing amount of sunshine we've been getting as of late) has made me more optimistic for the days and months ahead...
