Thanksgiving break was very very necessary. One week off from school did a body good. We drove all through the night, the sunday before thanksgiving, and arrived in brooklyn about 8:30 am the next Monday. Evelyn did wonderful. I know it seems crazy that we drove all through the night but there a few benefits to night travel. Firstly, there are any cars on the road. Secondly, and most imporatant, Evelyn can travel at night. She hates riding in the car. If we travel long distances it has to be while she’s sleeping. Otherwise it’s constant wailing from the backseat.
We stayed with Brian and Katie McMullen (two very close friends of our) at their very expensive apartment in Brooklyn. They are super nice, witty, and love Jesus.
We stomped around New York City with Evelyn in the sling. We left Wednesday night for Moodus, Ct. and spent Thanksgiving and the next day with Sarah’s family.
We were going to go to Gillette castle the next day but apparantly they were closed for the season. We decided to go to the casino nearby instead. It was quite fun. I had some good pictures from inside the casino but they made me confiscate them. Drats.
Lots of fun.
