NYC and More

Albany's been great. It's been relaxing and fun and everything I hoped it would be. We went out to dinner in Schenectady the other day with Dave's dad and "step-mom" at a place called Aperitivo I think, which was really tasty. I had calamari followed by gnocchi and sausage. Tasty. Dave had prosciutto wrapped salmon if I remember correctly, which he loved. It was a very fun evening. Wednesday night we went to the Wishing Well in Saratoga which is where his dad works, and he used to work there too. It was such a great place. I can't wait to take my parents back there. It was just a very cozy nice feel. And they had great food but huge portions. I had almond crusted trout which was delicious. That was Dave's birthday. Earlier that day I showed him how to carve stamps which he instantly fell in love with. I'll post pictures later.

Yesterday we got up early and headed down to NYC. I wasn't feeling very good though which made the trip a little less pleasant than I was hoping, but it was still fun. Takes about an hour and a half to drive to Poughkeepsie, where you board a train thing for an hour and a half to grand central station. When we got there we just sort of wandered around all day. We went to central park which was pretty and all frozen and stuff, and had a snack at this weird place called Primeburger. We went to Rockefeller Center and ended the day in Times Square which was really fun at night with all the lights. We rode on the indoor ferris wheel in the Toys R Us store which was really fun, Dave was really excited about it :) And of course we had to go to the Hershey's store. We wanted to go see a show but we were worried about not being able to catch the train home again that late. We made it home finally at about 10:30 or 11, and we were both extremely exhausted. It was fun though, I'm glad we did that cause it was a little outside of both our comfort zones, going to a big city without a plan or anything. But it was really fun.
