we are truly enjoying our time on the east coast. we live in jersey, just a short 10 minute train ride from downtown manhattan. we take public transportation on most days. it truly is the easiest (& least scary) way to get around jersey & new york. the boys enjoy getting around without car seats. we tour the city like true tourists. we walk around equipped with gps, train/subway schedules, & cameras strapped around our necks. i truly do stick out like a sore thumb; blondes, strollers/kids, & people who use turn signals are in the minority. i've also been told at least a half dozen times that i'm obviously not from around here because i'm too polite. i smile at people that i walk by & they look at me like i've lost my mind. it's things like this that make me miss home. oh, that & the fact that home doesn't have tornadoes/hurricanes. did you know that we have a hurricane rolling through tonight? i am not so excited. i do enjoy the giants. they have babysitting at the games for players' families, they have an amazing stadium, & the colors work well for me. wish us luck tonight! i'll post again the next time i find time to get on the computer (this is only my 2nd time on the computer since we got here.)
