Visiting the G-MA in Rochester, NY!

The gang at Denny's on Wednesday morning!

Well, I finally took a full week off for some rest and vacation during the beginning of March. Because of being in India, I missed seeing my relatives at Christmas, and planned a trip after my birthday to rest, which was much needed. The whole week consisted of me staying up late to catch up on CSI and House, sleeping, eating, shopping, more eating, and of course fun with my family. It was the first time I had been in New York since my Grandfather's funeral in June of 05'. With it just being my Grandma and I, it was so different in the house....I had never heard it that quiet before. Usually, you could imagine my family of 10 in the 3 bedroom 1 bath house with basement.....very loud, never quite; also, my grandfather would blare the tv from bad hearing; of course my G-ma would say I filled a lot of the quietness with my big mouth......but that just runs in the family! It was a much needed trip, and I realized how much good food I constantly miss out on: great homemade...true Italian Lasagne and bread, Abbot's Custard Ice Cream, Auntie Anne's Pretzels, juicy filet and shrimp at Salvator's, my fav chicken dish, pumpernickle and turkey bacon, fresh subs from Wegman's, and great breakfast's! I am glad I ran 15 miles that following Saturday......I probably had gained at least five from all that Italian dining we indulged in....but all in all, it was just what the Doctor ordered.
