Last week was pretty packed with fun and games!
On Thursday I went to Shimmy on the Hudson. There was an Arab meetup and a belly dancing meet up. The cruise went around NYC and under the Brooklyn Bridge. It was really good fun - considering we had managed to get free tickets. It was a little bit rocky and I definitely didn't have my sea legs on!
On Friday there was a tornado warning for New Rochelle! This was something exciting on a Friday afternoon which was completely dragging anyway!
It was really raining and really windy with these huge flashes of lightening.
Libby acting out what would happen if the tornado came inside!
Unfortunately me and some friends had to make the normally 3 and half hour drive to Maryland which ended up taking 6 hours because of all the flooding and road closures!!
So we finally got to a beautiful cottage in the middle of no where. Unfortunately a tree had fallen across the drive way, fortunately we had 3 pretty strong men with us - or so we thought. These guys were brought up in the Bronx and don't really have much experience in the country, so after moving the tree, ran back to the car like scared rabbits.
When we were outside a deer ran pass the car and they all nearly refused to even step out of the car. It was the funniest thing ever!!!
Finally at the cottage!
The cottage was right on the Chesepeake Bay it was sooo beautiful and so nice to be out of the City.
Friday was full of games and we didn't end up going to sleep until 6am so we managed to see the sun coming up.
The rest of the weekend was spent:
Eating
Relaxing in the hammock after swimming in the river
Sitting on the dock
watching the sun set
and camp fires
It was just soooo relaxing, that we realy didn't want to leave.
