Montclair Turkey Day Celebrations



Took Amtrak down to NJ to spend Thanksgiving with Callahans.  Had a great time eating a lot of delicious food.  Besides the Turkey Day feast on Thanksgiving, we also managed to fit in meals of -Sushi, Pizza, and Indian food.

Aunt Patty and Katie came down to Montclair for a day on Friday.  We went to the cemetery where Grandpa Joe is buried and scattered some of Sara's ashes.  I'm sure she would get a kick out of knowing that her ashes were breaking laws in more than one state across the country. 
 



View of the Manhattan skyline.  Great view even when it is overcast

 
 The next day went to Hoboken to see Emily's Apartment.  Very cute studio with a surprisingly large closet.  After Aunt Kathe and I walked around, looked at views of the Manhattan skyline, the Hoboken architecture and went to lunch. 
 Before getting on my train back to Boston I snapped a few photos in Manhattan.  Fun that the
holiday decorations are up. 

 Macy's Holiday theme this year was the planets.  The story followed a boy traveling for Christmas around our Solar System.  Had to head to Penn Station for my train so didn't read the story. 
Will have to make it back to NYC for some wintertime touristy fun. Had a nice Thanksgiving and was good to see everyone

I've had some rough stuff come up this year, but I also have a lot to be thankful for.  Happy Thanksgiving
