Move to New York

So, we moved to NY. I'm posting this about a month after the fact, but I thought I'd record the details of our little adventure out east.

We left Cape Girardeau about 11 am on Tuesday, May 25. We took 3 days to travel, and our first stop was in Cincinatti, OH. We stayed at a hotel with a dishwasher in the room, but the AC was terrible! It kept turning off throughout the night, and the room never cooled down. Needless to say, we had a terrible night sleep. So, with weary eyes we trudged on to our next stop - Olean, NY.

The drive went well. Cecilia took a 2 hour nap early in the drive (~10 am) and late in the drive (~2pm). It was the best napping she's ever done - before or since. When she was awake, she was pleasant and entertained by her toys. It was BLISS! The second leg of our trip was the longest, but Celia did so well it didn't feel stressful. We stopped at a McDonald's for lunch, and she made friends with 2 little boys in the playroom. It's amazing how having kids gets you to talk to perfect strangers. After the rest, we headed for our hotel.

In Olean, we stayed at a Microtel, which was a good night sleep. The room was clean and interesting, but more importantly - the AC worked efficiently! Even without the dishwasher, it was a better stay. Refreshed, we embarked on the last leg of our trip - Latham, NY.

The last day was the hardest and shortest. We made it to New York in good time and checked into the hotel that would be our home for the forseeable future. It's a good size room - 1 bedroom, a bath and vanity area, a kitchenette, and a living room. It's apartment style, and we get housekeeping everday - nice and bad at the same time. It's crowded, but it's a home and Cecilia enjoys it. Here we are New York!
