We got up, ate breakfast and then headed off the ship. It actually took a while to get off the ship and through customs, but it wasn't too bad. Ashley's friend got stuck in traffic on her way to pick us up, so we ended up spending some time hanging out in the cruise terminal. We actually didn't mind, we were so relaxed from the cruise, not much was getting to us!
Once we were picked up we decided to spend some time in NYC before driving home. We made a stop at the NBC Studios store so I could pick up some Christmas presents, and then walked around a really fun outdoor market where we found the biggest (and yummiest!) cupcakes I have ever seen.
The hilarious part about the cupcakes is that we didn't want to eat them right away, but they didn't have any boxes for us to put them in. So, we carried with around New York with us for several hours, haha. In fact, we had to carry them all the way home! They were definitely worth all the effort. :)We left New York around 1:30 and expected to be home no later than 3:30 or 4. Unfortunately, traffic was out of control in New Jersey and we were stuck there for 3 hours! No accidents, no road work, just way too many cars. That part was pretty miserable, but we survived and made it home just in time to go to Chick Fil A for dinner (with some of our free meal coupons!).
One of the best decisions I have ever made was to clean the house completely before we left. So, we came home to a really clean house!! All we had to do was throw our clothes in the washer and relax at home with Gizmo (he missed us)!!
Overall, I can't think of how this vacation could have been any better. It was so relaxing and we had so much fun!! God is tooooooo good to me!!
