Back From Mariah's Shower

I had a nice trip to LI this weekend. The Acela train is great, just 2 hours and 45 min between NYC and DC. Even with the switch at Penn Station to the LIRR, the total travel time was about the same as driving, but without the hassle. On Friday, I spend the afternoon at my grandparent's house and then we had dinner at my mom's and my Aunt Rosie joined us.


Mom and Debby came with me to Mariah's baby shower, which was a brunch, and I stayed afterwards to spend some extra time with Mariah. She is 2 weeks farther along than I am, but she is having twins, so she may end up delivering a few weeks earlier than expected. It was great to catch up and see each other. I knew it was going to be one of the last times that we would spend time together before the babies arrive, so I wanted to make the most of it... although that involved us plopping on the couch with our feet up and just talking for hours!

If I can get it to work, check out the slide show in the side bar with additional photos from the shower.
