Our plan was to get an early start yesterday morning so we could get to the city early. I thought that getting up at 8am would be early enough but we still didn't arrive in the city until 2pm. When we got up I took a shower then packed while my boyfriend ran some errands and we ended up leaving the house a little bit before 10am. We had to stop at my twin sisters house and drop off my dog then we hit some traffic getting into the city. The day ended up being a lot of fun because we went to The New York Hall of Science museum, then to the zoo. We could have spent a lot more time at the science museum because there's so much to do, but we had to speed along to get to the zoo before it closed. By "we" I meant my boyfriend, his brother and his brother's girlfriend as well as his parents. This was the last weekend that his parents would have their co-op in the city so it was a nostalgic day because I guess they went to the museum a lot as children.
We went for an early dinner after we were done at the zoo to an Italian restaurant which my boyfriend has been to a couple of times, with a co-worker when he's had to work in the city. We were nervous about getting a table without a reservation but because we went so early they were able to seat us. The first thing that I really liked about the place was that it was covered in pictures of old Hollywood movie stars. In fact we sat in the Marilyn Monroe room! I couldn't believe the size of the bread bowl that was brought to our table. I've never seen anything like it, filled with all sorts of different bread items as well as garbage bread. They also brought out a mini appetizer plate of bruschetta, cheese, and meats. We ended up getting calamari for the table as well as a hot antipasto plate and for dinner I got the chicken parmesan, which was fabulous. I ate so much! I didn't feel like I could eat again but we grabbed some Italian ice afterwards at a very famous place. I got the watermelon flavor and it was so good but I couldn't eat it all:(
My boyfriends parent's dropped us off at a friends house, haha that sounds funny, where we stayed for the rest of the night. Well actually after playing some games there we did go out to a local bar to get some drinks. We were out so late, like usual, that I didn't wake up today until almost 12pm. We spent a few more hours at my boyfriends parent's place until we had to get going. It was a little emotional because the realization hit my boyfriend that he wouldn't be in his childhood home again. We stopped to pick my dog up and then got back home a little bit before 7pm. I felt bad because my boyfriend had to mow the grass when we got home....it really couldn't wait. While he was doing that I put some laundry in and took my shower.
It was really a very nice weekend and I'm glad that we ended up going. I felt bad at my boyfriends parent's house because they didn't really have a lot of soap in the bathroom when I got there and then when I left there was hardly any at all. The fear of running out of soap was making me very anxious when I was getting ready this morning but I definitely did my best to suppress my usage. I actually did a lot better than I thought I would. There's really no excuse for how much soap I use at home:( I should just scrub longer but I have a habit of counting my hand washing and that always includes a pump from the soap dispenser per count. I will make it my OCD project for this week. Alright, I should get going now!
