Mom and Dad Came to Visit, Part I

When Mom and Dad came to visit last month, we did tons of stuff. I can't possibly put it all in one blog post or I'll never finish it. How about I just start at the beginning? Here we go.

On Saturday and Sunday, I just showed Mom and Dad around the Watertown area. Here, I took them to Thompson Park (which I've mentioned in a previous post).

From there, we went out to Sackets Harbor which is right on Lake Ontario, but it started to rain pretty hard so we had to come back to my apartment and just sit around. Booooring.

Monday, we started our trip to NYC. On the way something interesting happened to my car...

Sorry. I was really excited about it. Sometimes I used to wonder if my car would live this long. We have a love-hate relationship. I love it about 20% of the time and hate it about 80% of the time.

Aaaaaaaaaaand here's a new state to add to my list!

But here's my first impression of New Jersey -

It's sort of dingy...

And there are a lot of cockroaches... (the tiny little dots along the refrigerator seal)

I know that's not a completely fair assessment. But it can't be too far off, right? Now that I've got you really interested in our awesome road trip (I mean, there are cockroaches. Who wouldn't be intrigued?), I have to leave you here.

Stay tuned for Part II - The big city!
