We spent a day in New York City with Mom, Neil, and Eric. Although we had a great time seeing "The 39 Steps" on Broadway and spending 2 hours on the subway (don't ask), perhaps the highlight of the trip was this restaurant:
They serve an amazing variety of different types of macaroni and cheese, and basically nothing else. We were delighted to discover that the recipe for the one Brandon had is available online. First new recipe of 2009, here we come! Here is a picture of the Stones digging in (how did that zombie sneak into the picture?):
It was a good thing Neil filled up on mac and cheese, because a couple of days later, he had his wisdom teeth out. He fared considerably better than Alison did when she had hers out a few years ago (pictures in a forthcoming post...unfortunately), but he did need an ice pack or two (and some Vicodin).
While Neil was recovering, we decided to give the invalid some space, so we headed off to Philadelphia for the day. It was about 20 degrees and there were wind gusts up to 40 miles an hour in the city that day. Most other tourists stayed away, but we forged ahead! We got to visit Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was voted on. We watched the John Adams miniseries earlier this year and had just re-watched the relevant episode with the Stones, so it was great to see where this historic event took place.
Alison made a new friend.
We also stopped by Elfreth's Alley, the oldest continuously inhabited residential street in the United States.
Oh yeah, and at some point, this happened:
