Heading Off Again...

This morning we begin our journey to the other side of the country.  Our friend Ook arrived late Monday night at Newark.  We just hung around on Tuesday, resting up eating A LOT, Maria's pizza and Matilde's restaurant.  Wednesday we journeyed into the city: Bronx Zoo, Union Square/Heartland Brewery, American Indian Museum, Battery Park, Staten Island Ferry, City Hall, Brooklyn Bridge and a Thai restaurant.  Ook made it to 4 of the 5 boroughs in 1 day, pretty impressive I think.  After dinner we went back to Evan's to hang out and sleep.  Thursday morning we walked to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, they have some really cool exhibits including a tropical/desert and warm climate greenhouses.  We then went to Grand Central Terminal, visited Mike's uncle at work, got some pizza, visited Gloria, walked past Central Park and traveled back home.   

This morning we are starting our cross country road trip...we should be leaving in 1/2 an hour! (maybe) We will try to post some updates during the trip.
