A Dream Come True...

I have always dreamed of living in New York City for a summer - enjoying the park, the shopping and the sites but as a local not a tourist. All the pieces have come together and my dream has come true. Getting to share all of this with family and friends will make this an unforgettable summer...

Day 6

Sunday...Up at 5 to get out of the house by 6...On our way to Northport for the day which is on Long Island...going boating and seeing family..Needed to take the 1 train to Penn....the funniest thing happened...We all passed thru the turnstyle....all except fot Rick whose metro card wouldn't work...well we jumped on the waiting train and he missed it........I'm sorry but I laughed and laughed........so when we got to Penn we waited and waited for him and it took a good 20 minutes. He did finally make it so we went off to buy our tickets for the LIRR and have some coffee.....Got on the train and headed for Huntington where we had to switch trains to Northport. Joe (my nephew) picked us up and we went straight to the deli for some egg and cheese sandwiches...the guys ordered "Heart Attacks" which contain all the meat groups....bacon, susage and ham....yuck!.We took them down to the dock and met my sister and niece, Kelli....after a walk on the dock it was off to the marina to meet my brother and Jeanne for a day on the water...We went out to Sand City and dropped anchor and hung out with 3 of my nephews, their girlfriends and various friends....They tie their boats up together and we just went from boat to boat visiting. The food was crazy, shrimp, scallops, chicken, steak...wonderful...also lots of beer, wine and sangria.....and sun...we were going to go back to the city for the fireworks, but we were having so much fun we decided to stay.We took the boat over to the bay and watched probably 7 firework shows 360 degrees around us....so awesome....took the 10:44 train out of Northport and made it home by 12:30....funny the subway was packed at midnight........need some sleep.....!!
til tomorrow :)
