Weekend with blueberries, baby, and a bus trip to Manhattan

This past weekend has been my very last chance to do whatever I pleased before the rest of the family gets here. This is still 6 weeks away but with a few more trips to Michigan, having to be at work to run some studies, and actually moving out of this sh*thole of an apartment, then there is simply not any weekends left. About time!

One of my goals while living here on my own was to visit Manhattan on a day trip and I had originally planned for Saturday but the weather was not really collaborating with some intense afternoon thunder expected. Instead I went to work Saturday. Not really to work but rather to get some other computer stuff done without suffering from heat stroke in this “lovely apartment” of mine with the “amazing” air condition capacity🤦‍♀️And while I was at work a text ticked in:

Not a hard choice at all when coming from a good colleague of mine. She even picked me up so I didn’t have to drive. And did we pick blueberries? Oh yeah. Never in my life have I seen that many blueberries on bushes before

And I also got to use my avocado crocs

That have no airholes........ it was an interesting experience removing those after several hours in humid heat......

And afterwards I went to meet this little guy

Who surprised his parent quite a bit by deciding to have his birthday a month early. Oh my gosh he was tiny. And very very cute. Blueberries and baby - all in one day. Not bad at all.

Sunday I got up early as my Manhattan bus left at 7:20 from Doylestown. And exactly 2 hours plus a short walk later I was here:

In front of lovely gooey tebirkes. Nomnomnom. It was very high on my list to visit Meyers bakery on grand central station and as I ate my pastry and drank my coffee I kind of realized that I had sort of forgotten to consider what to do with my time after the eating of said pastry......

But Central Park saved me:

And maybe I happened to stop at Anthropologie to see if they had any good things on sale. Which they did. They sell dresses with pockets which is the best thing ever! Period! I had an amazing lunch

And last but not least I walked by the Roosevelt Island aerial tram. I had no clue that one could go by air to Roosevelt island for the price of mere 3$

And then I was just tired and kind of walked around a bit aimlessly until it was time to get back on the bus. But with a work week of only 2 1/2 days I think I’ll manage just fine. Tomorrow I travel back to Michigan to spend 4th of July in Ann Arbor. Fingers crossed for some nice weather allowing us to see the firework in burns park again this year
