Happy New Year 2009

Well can't seem to navigate too well, this is the post that goes with the next set of pictures. How do you sleep 9 in a hotel room, put 4 in the bed, Eleanor, Pat, my mom and myself. Put John, Merrilee, and Bob on the double pull out bed mattress on the floor, remake the couch and have Albert sleep on it, and Mick slept in a chair. We did manage to get some sleep and was up early the next day. We walked to the Empire State Building and Albert got in line, number 5 I might add, and mom and I went back to get Pat. While they toured the top we went window shopping and Jamie got a purse from a street vendor. The city was a little eerie on New Years morning. There was no one on the streets, taxis included. Could it have been because everyone was up all night partying and it was still freezing? We loaded up the cars, headed to the purse vendor in Chinatown where we purchased several bags and then headed back to the house in Jersey where Aunt Karyn had pulled pork sandwiches ready for us. Graig was ready to go, so Mick and I took him to the airport. Wish we could have gotten him to stay longer, but he drove Nicole to Las Vegas from Seattle area to start her student teaching.
Count at the house: 18
