Erin McCall

Thurs., July 17th 2011:

We left our hotel for the last time, and, taking all our luggage, got the jeep back. Then, we put all the luggage in the jeep and drove off.

Due to Dad falling on Staten Island, he made a crack in his lens shielder of light thingy, and so he traveled into B&H and purchased a new one. During that time period, Mom, Rebecca and I all sat in a parking lot across from the store. I read for most of the time.

After Dad got back in the car, Rebecca stated how she always dreamed of having a portrait painted of her on the streets of NYC. (Yeah right, she didn't even know what NYC was until she was like 7). After a few minutes Mom and Rebecca departed to look for an artist, while Dad and I drove around Times Square.

Later, Mom called me and told me that they we're done. We then picked 'um up at Regals, and later exited NYC. I hope to go again.

Mom and Dad told us we were going to visit a friend of theirs named Erin McCall. Erin had worked at Mom and Dad's photography studio a while ago, and Mom and her have been in contact only through Facebook and Christmas Cards. Erin lived in New Jersey, so Mom said we were going to travel to her house and have dinner.

A few hours passed, and, we arrived at her house. Erin welcomed us and told us to come in. There was some hugging and we walked to Erin's backporch.

The following hours were filled with joy and laughter, fun and running, and chicken and salad.

I met Lauren and Erin's 2 year old son, who was a joy to play with. His name was Nolan. I got to play with Nolan a lot. He was very fun.

Erin and Mom talked about former employees and got each other up to date on their statuses. Erin also told us of her job, the work they did on their kitchen, and of the neighbors and aquaintances. She was very interesting.

The visit was altogether fun. Erin's family was very warm and fun.

As we left, I said goodbye to Erin and her family. I had a great visit.

Later, we drove back to our RV Park where the RV was stationed in Rhinebeck, NY and went to bed late that night.

Hitting homeruns,

Andrew.
