Family Adventures

Let there be no mistake: I live a life of luxury.  My academic calendar provides me with lovely stretches of days  off, and I am spoiled beyond belief.  That would be why it was easy for me to take a week to stay in NJ, where adventures awaited with members of my extended family.
One of those adventures took place in front of this restroom
inside of this movie theater
where we had sectioned off a row for ourselves in order to be entertained by Sherlock Holmes and his trusty Dr. Watson.  

Entertained we were.
[Perhaps by more than the movie...]

Since our adventures seem to turn out well, 
a few nights later found some of us spontaneously together again,
at Bobby's Burger Palace in nearby Paramus.
Ever since I found out that Bobby Flay has an establishment near my parent's home, I've been itching to get there.  I was not disappointed: Hello goat cheese and watercress on my burger, sweet potato in my fries, and pistachio in my shake...
YUM.

Speaking of yum,
afterward we roamed the attached mall,
while the men scored themselves a seat 
and had themselves a chat.

At the end of the night we hugged each other good-bye,
sadly, but with the knowledge that
all adventures [and all togetherness] must come to an end...
until next time!
