Spontaneous

At 4 PM PST Thursday I decided I was going to travel to NYC... on FRIDAY! The result: An amazing weekend "growing up in Spanish Harlem" with my good friend Dana and a lot of other great friends, including Fiesty Fawn herself, from my ESU days.

I arrived Friday afternoon, navigated my way through the air train to subway, and the fun began immediately with champagne, great conversation and additional friend arrivals. By Saturday evening there were 7 of us who had travelled into the Big Apple to celebrate a 26th birthday weekend for the books. Fun was had by all. It is awesome to have such amazing friends who never seem to miss a beat. Although there were a few notable absent members of our group their spirit was with us in stories of memories past. I even had some time to meet family for lunch before I took off.

Alas, Sunday came too quickly and I had to catch a train or two back to JFK arriving home in San Diego by 9 PM. Ahh, nothing like a weekend getaway clear across the country ;)
