There’s a joke here, somewhere
The Firecracker and I wanted to get outta New York City but we also didn’t wanna spend a ton of time traveling so we decided to just hit up Jersey City for the weekend.
So, bright and early on a Sunday, we headed out 40 minutes or so to the Grove Street PATH Station…
…and walked down their still-somewhat-new promenade.
We didn’t get far because she wanted a snack and I wanted some more iced green tea.
But we got to exploring and found, amongst other things, a combination wine store and pharmacy.
Her: This is so weird.
Me: There’s a joke here somewhere, I just can’t think of it.
In fact, we hit up a number of wine shops because I’ve been on the hunt for some mead lately.
Him: What is that?
Me: It’s kinda like wine made from honey.
Him: (laughs) Nah, we got nuthin like that.
We ended up walking into a gorgeous apartment that had an open house.
The Firecracker and I have been chatting about next steps in our relationship but that’s an entry – or three – for another time.
Her: Think of what you could cook in this thing!
Me: It’s pretty cool, I gotta say.
Afterward, we went to Barcade for a bit to read and relax a bit.
But it was super loud, and we were both getting hungry and Barcade’s kitchen was on the fritz.
So, I ordered her a slice of pizza and then we walked over to Zepplin Hall, a beergarden, to meet up with my SIL.
It was pretty empty when we got there, which suited us just fine.
We ordered some food and then my SIL came.
It was only 5PM so I figured we’d be done by 7PM.
I was very wrong.
We ended up ordering FIVE pitchers of alcohol along with several individual glasses…
…plus even more carbs…
…but we did also order a salad? So, yeah.
The ladies chatted for a bit…
…while I went out to get a bit of fresh air.
It was after 10PM by the time we stumbled outta there, we’d been there for five hours.
Shockingly, it only took us about 45 minutes to make it home.
Me: Did you have a fun night?
Her: (half-asleep) Yeah, you?
Me: I was with you and family. How could it be bad?
Her: (snores)
Me: (laughs)
Location: Governors Island, with my favourite tiny human and some of my fave normal-sized humans as well.
Mood: fatty-fat-fat
Music: She said ohh, hold on, hold on, hold on (Spotify)
