I hate NY!

Andrea and I have been trying to get a few trips in before the big day. She went to Florida last week with her family and this weekend we headed for NYC. I have always wanted to take a trip on a train and she has always wanted to go to New York City. So we did both. We left from Pgh at 7:20am Saturday morning and arrived in NYC at 5pm. We checked into the Hotel Pennsylvania which was across the street from Penn Station. After seeing our room we wanted to get out of it as soon as possible. $200 does not get you much in Manhattan. We walked about 9 blocks to Times Square where we had dinner and got on a bus tour at 7:30 for 2 hours cruising around NYC. Our guide was not from this country and I am fairly sure he was making things up as we went. After the tour we walked back towards our hotel. We stopped at a pizza shop for a piece of authentic NYC pizza. After getting into a short argument with the shop owner we took our pizza and ate it outside. I was amazed at how big and crowded the city was on a Saturday night. We headed back to our hotel and went to sleep. The next morning we got up, took a walk around and found a K Mart store. Only Andrea would find a K Mart in NYC and shop there. We went for some breakfast at McDonalds. We are in one of the food meccas of the world and all she wanted was a bacon egg and cheese biscuit. At 10:50 we left headed for the burgh. There were about 15 stops each way between Pgh and NYC. The train was very comfortable and we had a great time on it. Took a bunch of naps, talked about what the baby names will be and even got woken up twice by a drunk guy. I was able to control myself each time and not cause a scene but I told Andrea that the next time he came through the car on the way to the bar singing and waking everyone up I was going to have a talk with him. Luckily, he must have passed out because we never saw him again. We got back to Pgh at 8pm and headed home. It was a short, busy trip that we really enjoyed but I never have to go back to NYC again. Way to big, crowded, expensive and full of obnoxious people. No new news on the babies front. She has been feeling pretty good with the exception of some heart burn and the need for lots of naps. 17 days till the next ultrasound.
