Montclair, New Jersey

Spent the weekend in Montclair, New Jersey visiting family and friends.  I was fortunate to be gifted round trip tickets on the Acela train from Boston to NYC.  Not sure I will be able to go back to Bolt after such luxury. 

My Aunt Kathe, Uncle Neil and friends Phil and Lara are all living on the same street now
 Right where this station is located.  Super convenient for me and lots of fun too. 


Arrived Friday evening and enjoyed fish tacos, salsas and wine outside with everyone. 

Saturday was a little overcast, but still a very nice day.  Aunt Patty, Aunt Kathe and I went for a walk around the neighborhood.  I am always amazed by the size of some of the houses here.

Later Kathe and I headed down towards one of the shopping areas and enjoyed lunch at Raymond's

and wandered around a bit checking out the shops and area

I thought this place was cute.  Wish we had outdoor seating in Brookline.

The Police Station where my Grandpa Joe use to work

 

Then went and saw "The 100ft Journey" would recommend this one.  Very well done. 

Day complete with Sushi and Wine

 

Sunday was a lot of fun.  Went to Hoboken with my friends Phil and Lara and did some Kayaking on the Hudson.  Really cool to see views of Manhattan, but wouldn't want to fall in the water

The streets of Hoboken.  I've been told this town was once a dump, but I really like it now

 

Thanks for having me.  Had a great time
