I slept in again and enjoyed a lazy morning. Our flight was leaving at 4:45 so we had some time to do some exploring and decided to go out to Brooklyn to hang out with my brother and sister-in-law. We took a cab out to Brooklyn and got to see their apartment. Real estate in the greater NYC area never ceases to amaze me! Their apartment is in a very charming brownstone (the whole area reminded me of The Cosby Show setting - gracious I'm OLD). It was at one time a single family home but has turned into 4 or so apartments. Like I said it's very charming but a little old and smallish. And their rent is comparable to our mortgage payment! Yikes!
We walked to a great restaurant where we had brunch. It was an absolutely gorgeous day so we got to sit outside. After great eats (maple bacon pancakes!) we set our for a nice walk around before we had to leave for the airport. I loved Brooklyn! I'd guess if, God forbid, we ever had to move to NYC I'd pick Brooklyn. I love how you can walk everywhere! We walked down to the promenade and what a view. A great day!
We had arranged for a car to pick us up for the airport and we made it in plenty of time for our flight. What a wonderful, wonderful weekend!!
