Back to the Hotel

After our short visit to Manhattan this past Saturday, we rode on the Long Island Railroad from Grand Central Madison to Rockville Centre then walked the few short blocks back to the hotel.  I have to say that, as a tourist wanting easy and quick access to midtown Manhattan, the new Madison extension to Grand Central is very convenient!

I needed to make a short stop at a pharmacy so we stopped at a pharmacy that was next to the hotel.  While we were there, we picked up a few additional drinks for the hotel.  Below, we are waiting for Sheila to come out of the pharmacy...  we somehow got separated in the store so checked out separately...

Six hours of sleep the previous night was now taking its toll on Kenzie.  She laid down to take a short nap with her new stuffed animal but I don't think she got more than a few minutes of sleep, if at all.  I managed to capture a photo of her lying with her stuffed animal though...

Before long, it was time to drive to my sister's house for dinner with my father which was the original purpose of this visit to Long Island.  We had a nice dinner with them and it was nice seeing everyone.  We hadn't seen anyone in my family since before the pandemic since I was almost perpetually sick with COVID throughout the pandemic.  I even picked up COVID again when we visited Manhattan this past Christmas!  

We've been home for two days now and I still do not have any new symptoms so that is good news.  At the risk of jinxing myself, maybe I somehow avoided contracting COVID yet again during this short trip out-of-town.
