It was a busy weekend. The weather was very cooperative and there were many things planned. I took Benjamin to soccer P4210001 where he got his new team shirt P4210002 P4210003 P4210004 and got ready to play P4210005 P4210006 P4210007 P4210008 as the other parents P4210009 watched the game. And the coaches got them revved for action P4210010 P4210011 in a game that they were to win 3-0.

Next we went to Panera for lunch. Benjamin had the turkey sandwich P4210012 which he really enjoyed P4210013 and I had cappuccino P4210014 with my sprout sandwich P4210015 all at a reasonable price. P4210016

We came back home and picked up Sarah P4210017 and followed this car P4210018 through the traffic P4210019 until we could leave Sarah and Joyce P4210020 P4210021 P4210022 off at Macy's.

We then headed back to the car wash which had already started P4210023 with the girls trying to lure in customers P4210024 P4210025 We gave him P4210026 our five dollars and got in line. Jane was there P4210027 as were Kaylen P4210028 and her mother P4210029 P4210030 P4210031 P4210032 and father P4210035 P4210033 P4210034 They got started on our car P4210036 P4210037 while Cindy George watched P4210038 and Caroline Williams drove up P4210039 P4210040 while Jane and Kaylen had their lunch P4210041

Next, Jan Woods arrived P4210042 in the 70 PEDE P4210043 causing Lucy P4210044 great joy. All this while, there was progress on the Honda P4210045 P4210046 P4210047 P4210048 P4210049 even though Chris sometimes was washing people's shoes P4210050 P4210051 The car has never seen this much soap P4210052 P4210053 Kaylen celebrated P4210054 the new shine on the car P4210055 as the crowd cheered P4210056 and we headed off to the drying station P4210057 P4210058 Our final stop was at McCaffery's P4210059 P4210060 where Fernando P4210061 rang us up while Joe P4210062 bagged our groceries.

We waited until Sunday to start eating the food from McCaffery's. Benjamin P4220063 and Jane P4220064 had bagels and Suzanne P4220065 settled for Poland Springs. We still had remnants P4220066 of the celebration and a clean car P4220067 so Suzanne was ready P4220068 to climb aboard P4220069 for the trip to Parking Space 368 P4220070 where we paid for parking P4220071 but couldn't read the ticket screen P4220072 in the glare, so we approached the station P4220073 where this woman P4220074 asked that I not take her picture. (Sorry!!!)

We looked down the track P4220075 to see if a train was coming, but we were in P4220076 for a little longer until the sign P4220077 started to blink and we could get into this car P4220078 to travel past P4220079 through Penn Station P4220080 in Newark until we finally got off P4220081 at Penn Station in New York.

Dick and Fran P4220082 were there so we walked down to the village to watch the chess games P4220083 P4220084 and be inspired by Gandhi P4220085 on our way to the world's most famous schoolyard basketball court P4220086 P4220087 We stopped for a drink and this gentleman P4220088 was kind enough to take our pictures P4220089 P4220090 as we drank our lemonade and iced coffee (sic tea) P4220091 Paige P4220092 arrived and I went to explore the bath room to see the signs P4220093 P4220094 Francine had recommended. Then we made our way to the restaurant Paige had found P4220095 and entered happily. P4220096 The dinner party were Dick P4220097 Suzanne P4220098 P4220099 Paige P4220100 Francine P4220101 and David.
