Today was nothing short of a fabulous day :)
I headed uptown to Penn Station bright and early to catch the 8:51 LIRR train to Huntington where I was picked up by my wonderful Nana's long-time friend from high school! I'd never gotten to meet Carol before so I was so excited to spend time with this friend of the family and someone who means so much to my Nana (who means so much to me!). I had SUCH a blast! Carol reminded me so much of Nana, so talking with her all morning and afternoon was like a wonderful taste of home! She's such a fun, bubbly spirit...I could tell right away why she and Nana have been friends for so long!
It's also safe to say that I've fallen in love with Long Island :) Carol and I drove around Huntington and a few neighboring towns and everything I was was absolutely fantastic! Everything was so small and quaint, the little old homes were beautiful, and of course my favorite part was being able to see the water from almost everywhere!! We went to a little "Mom and Pop" restaurant for lunch...One of those breakfast/brunch places that really serves everything you can think of. The inside was decorated like the inside of someone's home and the food was delicious! I just really can't type here how much I appreciated the day out of the city and the company and location in which I was able to spend it!!! :)
Then tonight I made it back just in time to take Calen's class at Broadway Dance Center. I couldn't be more thankful to have made it back in time. (Because of the high winds our train was constantly stopped on the track having to wait for electrical problems to be delayed!) It was one of the best parts of my entire week. So thankful for dance :):)
So tonight, adventures outside of the regular routine make me happy :)
