I like consistency and that all goes out the window when you have a road trip. I don't think I can stand anymore restaurant food for a bit, either. Not that we ate junk, I just prefer to eat at home most times. The trip was long. We took two days driving out there and ended up in NYC on Friday night. Saw my sister/BIL and had dinner. On Saturday we went over to their house for the baby shower and stayed for the evening before we went back to the hotel. Sunday morning we stopped by again before we left. That was the only nice part of the trip, seeing family. Our hotel in NY was cramped and literally under a train track. There were 12 parking spots for a 6 floor hotel No gym at the hotel, so I missed 4 days of workouts total. I got lost on NY streets two out of three days. And that was with a GPS! NY has the worst signage out of anywhere I've ever been. Driving there sucks. I was just happy to leave. I really don't like that town. We left Sunday at about noon Chicago time and decided we couldn't stand to stay in a hotel another night. So I drove straight through, only stopping for dinner and a few potty breaks for the kids. Got home at 3 am Chicago time. But I was glad to be home. I'll never drive to NY again. Overall it was just a frustrating trip, aside from seeing the family. Back to work tomorrow...at least I'll be on a schedule again. Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew |
