Yo estoy individual.

I like driving.  It's relaxing for me.  I don't do nothing very well.  But with driving...you get to do nothing while doing something.  It's a productive way of doing nothing that my brain somehow accepts.  Time passes quickly especially when you have someone to talk to.  Kaleigh Schlipf made the drive out to NY with me.  Below is our adventure.

 Echo Bay from Hudson Park in New Rochelle.  We started our Friday by walking down to the Sound.  Unfortunately I kind of led us on a detour on the way there...a longer detour.  We were almost all walked out before even getting downtown.  Whoops!

 

 

 In Central Park.  Very nice...and Kaleigh says she's not artistic.  My camera is well on its way to really broke....currently only kind of broke.  So the majority of these pictures were taken by Kaleigh with some from my cell phone.

 

Since we hadn't really planned anything for the day we didn't have tickets for anything, so instead we hopped on the Staten Island Ferry taking us right by Liberty Island and on to Staten Island.

Arriving at Staten Island I really loved this light house. (situated at Bayonne Golf Club in Bayonne, New  Jersey)

 Return trip from Staten Island we enjoyed the setting sun as our background. :)

 

Times Square. The lights. The people. The traffic. The noise.

"Sea of Faces" by Kutless

I see the city lights all around me

Everyone's obscure

Ten million people each with their problems

Why should anyone care

And in Your eyes I can see

I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world

Lost in a Sea of Faces

Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine

Because you traded Your life for mine

On Saturday we headed to Connecticut. And from there onto Massachusetts adding Bekah to our adventure.  We hiked Mt. Tom and throughtly enjoyed the fresh New England Fall.

 

 While thumping through the forest and after a fair number of slips sending rocks rolling we had to admit we'd make horrible Native Americans.  Had we been Indians our family would be so ashamed.  And we took on the names of Heavy Foot, Thunder, and Pound Cake. You can guess who's who! ;)

Bekah was asked to bring cupcakes to young group Saturday night.  Are you fooled? Quite a few were completely confudled how we kept the ice cream cones from melting.

Me, Kaleigh and Bekah

Hasta!
