It was fun, and definately different from most weekends. I’m glad that I got out of Hillsboro and away from work for the first time in the last few weeks.

I spent most of the day going through my photos and picking some out for printing. I came across this print that I originally took about two years ago:

I think I might print an 8×12 for this :-p…

I finally posted the photos from NYC this after making you guys wait for three weeks! OMG, the trip was fantastic. Everyone should go see it, at least once, in their life. :) Leave comments if you wish :)

Some of the photos needs to be edited, others just removed because of duplicates, or they didn’t turn out well… until then, you get to see “NYC Raw and Uncut“! :-p

I gotta go to sleep… but ENJOY!!

All the photos are displayed in chronological order on the day it was taken. My blog, however, displays the entries themselves in reverse chronological… so, yeah, just click on day 1 and scroll down, then day 2 and scroll… rinse, repeat :)

Broken up by day:

I CAN’T WAIT!! I am so looking forward to this trip, the experience will be awesome! heck yeah! yahoo!!!

I bought a tourist book for NYC. The list of places where I want to go see are quickly expanding…here’s a sample:

Statue of Liberty – a picture of Lady Liberty up close and personal :)
Ellis Island
Empire State Building
Fifth Avenue — up and down it, lots of window shopping
Grand Central Terminal
Ground Zero
New York Public library
Midtown
Rockefeller Center
Tom’s Resturant – the outside is featured in Seinfeld — this one’s for you Jill :-p
Little Italy
China Town
Financial District — NYSE!
Battery Park
Carnegie Hall
Central Park — at least one corner of it, it’s freakin huge

Ok, so that wasn’t a sample… more like my intinerary. But oh well, I’ll bring back A LOT of photos. Hopefully some nice panoramic shots of the sights. Wee!!!

Recap of the weekend:

Friday: last day of work at Mentor Graphics — my group went out to lunch at Chili’s – got a free lunch and a $50 dollar gift certificate to Fry’s Electronics. I used that thing to ‘apply’ it to a previous purchase of a GeForce 6800 GT… ‘apply’ as in purchase a new one for $400 – $50 gift cert, then immediately return it using old receipt that has the $400 price hehe. I packed and packed.. cleaned a lot so i can get moved out to Corvallis.

Saturday: Jill helped me move to Corvallis. I tell ya, it was much easier than helping her move :) It was raining out that day… the drive down was alright, but rain was heavy at times. One car load held the majority of the stuff that I needed most – most importantly, my computer! :) My desk was setup again, so was the comp, the bed. My closet is in disarray… the boxes of the smaller items that i have are still packed away. I guess I won’t be touching those until the Sunday before school starts.

We had lunch at LocalBoys — good stuff — then a drive-by-tour of the OSU campus since it was raining. Jill apparently couldn’t speak that day haha, maybe a lil rum and coke will help out… err, at least maybe with the Spanish :-p

Sunday: Drove to Camera World and purchased a Quantaray 19-35mm lens. The lens is actually made by Sigma. So that’s pretty decent for $200.

I went back down to Wilsonville today to pack up the kitchen stuff, and clean the countertops. Liquid bleach is not something i want to smell ever again. Well, everything is packed. We turned in our keys and … good bye Wilsonville Summit. Half a year as passed. On to the next chapter of our lives.

I’m just waiting for the hours to count down, then I’m off to New York City!

Flight leaves: Monday 11:45PM – from PDX to Dallas/Fort Worth — DFW to La Guardia.. I’ll arrive Tuesday at 11:15 am EST. I’ll update you guys during the week.
