British Invasion I

The story of our trip can not be summed up in one boring post, so I will split it up. I'll do my best to sum up the trip as concisely as possible.

The trip from Pennsylvania to NYC was nothing short of epic. Heavy rain, a wrong turn, and an impromptu trip through Manhattan made for really good moods by the time we checked in to our tiny basement airport hotel room. At least I got to boo both Yankee's stadiums, new and existing.

Christmas Eve
We rallied as a family at 4 AM with too much baggage and an over filled shuttle bus, and got checked it and upgraded thanks to the nice lady at the ticket counter that knew what it was like to travel with a 4 year old.
Uneventful flight, good movies.

Christmas Day
Presents. Food. Drinks. Rain.

Boxing Day
Food. Drinks. Shameless laying about. Visit to the local pub. In fact, the picture in the last post was from the walk back. We did do some walking in between the laying about.


Day After Boxing Day
A trip to a zoo featuring smaller animals and monkeys. Who doesn't like monkeys? I took lots of pictures of monkeys. I love monkeys. Then, due to our proximity to the ocean, and because Keiran had to see the beach, my family realized why I'm not so keen on beach vacations. This is pretty much what I remember it being like (exaggerating).


Following Days
Pubs. A Pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk. I don't remember it this way, but apparently it is a very Christmassy thing to go to. Pantomimes are funny, in that the audience is expected to participate. The jokes are always very corny, and there is always a man dressed up like a woman as a main character. Good stuff.

This gets us half way, will follow up some more later...!
