Our final day in the Big Apple. We had but one mission: make Justin Khuel jealous.
Crumbs - 2 Park Avenue
Totally awesome bakery in lower Manhattan (and other places). Enourmous cupcakes (more than one sitting for normal human beings). I got a cookies-and-creme as well as a s'mores; Jennifer got red velvet and a peanut butter cup. Pictures were taken. Most of them flew back to Huntsville with us.
Some notes on the New York City Subway System:
On the whole, I was not nearly so annoyed with them this time. Partly, I think the because the L, N, and Q trains in Brooklyn are fairly well run. Also, I was somewhat prepared for the waits, and in less of a hurry to take everything in. They're still a little weird, and very germ-y, but it wasn't awful. Also, we saw some drunk guy stumble to the door, step out between cars, and start to take a leak - as we were pulling into a station. Stay classy, Brooklyn.
On the whole, our flights home went pretty well. No serious delays, plenty of time for lunch at DCA. There was a bit of a kerfuffle about carry-on bags as we were leaving DCA. Jennifer & I had checked a shared suitcase; I had a small duffle and the cupcakes and she had her computer backpack and purse. Those were perfectly acceptable carry-ons, 1 for the overhead and 1 for our feet. Some jerk really wanted Jennifer to move her backpack so he could stuff his suitcase above us. He learned his lesson. I stayed out of it.
We had fun, but its great to be back. Hopefully I'll add some photos into these posts. But don't hold your breath.
