Well, a week from today, Sarah and I will be arriving in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico (affectionately referred to as CJ). As a result, we are doing our best to do as many American things as possible. So, of course we went to a Washington Nationals game, and I ate a chili dog.
We had a great time with Sarah's mother and grandmother. I'm a bit bummed to be leaving at the start of the season now that the Nats are actually decent. Hoperfully they will still be good two years from now when we come back to the area.
We also made one last trip to New York City, which I think makes this probably the 10th time we visited in the five years that we have lived on the East Coast. We originally meant to go in February, but had to postpone it until the week before we leave (not ideal). However, the weather was great.
I had never been in NYC around springtime, so it was nice to be able to walk around a bit when everything's blooming. We managed to eat at all our favorite places (Shake Shack, Caracas Arepa Bar, Magnolia Bakery) and buy a bunch of new clothes for the little guy.
We also took a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, which is something I always wanted to do. It was the perfect day for it. It only takes about 45 minutes.
We'll miss NYC a lot, as it was nice to be so close. But we know that it will always be near our home base in Arlington, VA. Plus, there's a chance I could even work there someday at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations. Who knows!
