Back from a much needed vacation

Ahh. Got back yesterday from vacation. I went with my fiance to visit my family in Connecticut. While we were there were took a few side trips to keep the sanity. We spent a night in good old New York City, staying right near Times Square. It was an awesome trip. We took the train from CT to Grand Central, and basically just did a bunch of walking around. We also saw Phantom of the Opera, which for me was the first time going to a musical or play or whatever it's called. We hung out in Central Park, walked through Greenwich Village, SoHo, and even walked across the Brooklyn Bridge.

We also drove out to Rhode Island and went to Newport for an afternoon. The weather was perfect, and it was a very relaxing day. I especially enjoy driving the back roads of Eastern Connecticut, which are a welcome change from San Diego.

In between those few trips, I got to hang out with my parents and my brother and sister in law. All in all it was a great trip, my first real "vacation" type trip in about a year. I'm not quite ready to be back and work, and am busy planning and scamming our next getaway.
