Driving in last night was crazy. The hardest parts of the drive were getting stuck in horrible horrible traffic crossing the Delaware River, and just being completely exhausted for the stretch of driving from the beginning of the NJ Turnpike all the way to Brooklyn. We’re staying at my cousin’s awesome place in Brooklyn Heights (I’ll get some pictures up tomorrow). When we finally got in at almost 3 AM we just crashed.
Day 1 was supposed to be: the bodies exhibit, lunch in midtown, the guggenheim, dinner in midtown, and then the tennis match. But because of our extremely long (and late) night, we ended up taking it easy in the morning…at least I did. Dad had to get up and move the car at 8, but I slept in until 10. We ended up having to scratch the bodies exhibit, but we still made it to the guggenheim.
The Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit currently running at the Guggenheim is fantastic….especially since he designed the museum. My brother wasn’t so into it, though, so after a while I took him to see the film running in the basement so Mom and Dad could finish checking out the exhibit. Mom caught up with the two of us in the basement theater and ended up watching the entire film (V. and I skipped out early to check out the giftshop and loiter in the lobby), while Dad saw all of the exhibits currently running at the Guggenheim.
After the Guggenheim, we got some water and sat down across the street from Central Park and just spent some time talking and enjoying the day. The weather up here is gorgeous…not very hot at all and not too humid.
