Weekend in Long Island

We spent last weekend in Long Island with our friends Ed and Jeanette. We got up their Friday evening. When we got there they had a few inches of snow on the ground! That evening, we pawned Jackson off on Mrs. Glenn (Jeanette's mom - actually she insisted) while we went to a barbecue place. It was pretty good for yankee barbecue, and HUGE portions.

This weekend was the coldest weather in a couple of years. The highs Friday and Saturday were in the mid teens, with lows in the mid single digits! It was awesome! I love the cold weather. The colder the better.

Saturday we went to Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, but I'll write about that in the next post. On the way back we went to Moe's for a late lunch - Christa (Jeanette's sister) loves Moe's. We just hung out that evening (Jeanette cooked an awesome dinner) at their house.

That evening we went to Jeanette's brother's (Tommy) house. Tommy and Marissa have a little boy, Shane, 1 day older than Sarah's brother's little girl, Isabella. I know, I'm confused too. Shane's pretty cute.

That evening back at the Glenn's house, Jeanette cooked a great dinner and we just hung out. Jackson was bushed.

Sunday morning Ed, Lincoln and I enjoyed the snow. Lincoln loves the snow, but he loves Ed even more.


We put Jackson in his new snowsuit for the first time and laid him down in the snow. He didn't like the snow falling in his face.




Ed and Jeanette are looking for a house in the area, so we stopped at one open house. Beautiful house, but you would not believe the prices and taxes up there! It nuts! That afternoon and evening we watched the NFL playoffs. Ed's a big Eagles fan, but they lost. Too bad, because he was growing a beard until they lost. It was looking good, too.

Each night we were there it snowed a couple of inches. They have a beautiful house and yard, and Lincoln and I had a great time playing in the snow. It was too powdery for a snowman. Lincoln loves the snow!

Here's my awesome truck with 1 night's snow.

Monday we drove home after having lunch at a great Greek place. The drive was long because it snowed pretty hard nearly the whole trip. As it turns out, there was about 4" of snow on the ground when we got home - the biggest snow in 2 years. Everything was beautiful, but other then walking Lincoln that evening, it was too late to enjoy it.

We always have such a great time up there. Jeanette's family is always so fun and hospitable.
