Monday: Part 13 of a 13-part series of photos documenting my trip to New York:

• JV’s parents held a family picnic the day after the wedding. Lots of good food, and luckily it was under some shade because boy was it HOT out!
• Tossed around the football for the first time in a while.
• Final cousin bonding time, said our goodbyes.
• Took off for Newark Airport, waited an hour or so for our departure time.
• I didn’t get a window seat on the plane, and my aisle was right next to the wing! Fail.
• Arrived at O’Hare, picked up our baggage, and took the blue line to my brother’s apartment, and from there home sweet Lincolnwood.

… and that was my trip to NJ/NYC. I had a blast and have been missing my family so much. Sorry for the layover between Parts 12 and 13, I moved back in at school and have had a lot of stuff on my plate lately getting into school mode. That and wordpress image uploader is acting weird. More posts coming soon, and some big news!
