New York City... again!

I ended up spending most of my weekend in New York City this weekend - I took a bus there on Friday evening and spent the night with my sister at her dorm. It's so fun that she lives right downtown in the middle of Manhattan! On Friday night we hung out and watched the E! channel for way too long (it plays almost continuously in her room). Our Grandma John, Aunt Kathy, and Aunt Marilyn were in New York for the weekend, so when we woke up we called them and met up in Chinatown. We decided to walk over to Little Italy and had a really nice lunch.
I meant to get a bus home on Saturday afternoon, but just barely missed it. The next bus wasn't until two hours later. That gave me a chance to visit "gift on fifth" - a project that my friend, Ray, had helped to set up. It's sponsored by Bank of America, and includes free coffee and cocoa, free gift wrapping, and a bunch of couches to hang out and relax. It was fun visiting him, and we all went out for food afterwards.
I ended up not trying to make the 9pm bus and just going back to Katie's instead. She and I were up until after 3am working on homework - we both have finals coming up. I left this morning on the 6:30am bus and was back to DC by 11:00am.
