East coast visit
October 2, 2008 – 12:08 amAfter a crazy couple of weeks at work, I was lucky enough to have a short trip planned to head back to the east coast for my cousin’s wedding.
Normally I wouldn’t be all that excited about taking a red eye flight across the country only to turn around and fly back less than three days later, but as you may have noticed, I’ve been missing the east coast quite a bit lately.
It rained the entire weekend. I didn’t see the sun once. It was cold and damp. And I loved it.
I also got to spend some quality time with the Irish half of my family in combination with an open bar at a wedding. Needless to say, it was a good time.
My mom switched over to extreme cooking and baking mode the following day. She does that a lot. The level of extremity increases exponentially with the number of sons she has in the house. All three of us were home this time. As much as I love her food, I’d love to see her relax for once.
I’m already looking forward to my next voyage to the east coast, which will last an entire week and begin in New York City.
I like California, I swear, I really do. I just happen to like other parts of the US a little more.

Okay, so when you come home next time, we’ll just do take out. Of course, with Thanksgiving as a part of that visit, I just don’t know if I can fathom the thoughts of a pre-made turkey dinner, even from Plainville Turkey Farm or Wegman’s. Ah, yes, have you told the west coast about Wegmans? Oh yeah, and what about that pizza I have finally mastered, which tasted as good as Beau Jo’s in CO? I know you’ll want some of that. Oh and scones, we must have scones at least one morning while you’re home. Of course, some Tomato Basil Garlic Soup and some Mexican Chicken Corn Chowder would certainly make you feel warm and cozy while visiting the chilly east coast.
Don’t worry about me MIck. It’s a MacCollum thing….always to the extreme
So happy you’re home for the week and am sooooo looking forward.
