point I was considering putting waterproof bandaids on it for the novelty of the idea, but I'm sure many would think I'm nuts if I did that. I would consider replacing it if they had crazy colors or patterned roofs. That would be awesome.
Other than that, it was a very fun weekend. I visited my parents on Friday night for dinner. On Saturday I spent the whole morning cleaning and I finally went to get my car washed! Loren and Don came over and got to see my place too! =) I think they may be my first college friends to see my place, besides Juan. It was fun to chat with friends! They even left a note down stairs next to our on-going game of hangman.
Elvia came over too and we went to La Isla to eat. I finally got to try their Cuban Sandwich and it was excellent! It may have possibly been the best Cuban Sandwich EVAR! Elvia had the Arroz con Pollo and she said the rice tasted like paella rice...and it really did! They also have the best Cafe con Leche, it is so good that you don't want to put any sweeteners in it.
We walked around, went into a few shops, and got some wine before heading back. When we got back Adam came down and all 4 of us cabbed our way to the Abbey Pub in the hood.
I don't know what was up with the cab driver but the cab kept jerking as if he was accelerating and braking. After the first block, I was thinking that if it continued then he was probably drunk and I was going to request for him to let us out. Then he couldn't' find the place and insisted it was this funeral home - I thought he wanted us to get out there! That was definitely not going to happen as there was some shady characters hanging on the corners. Luckily Adam was sitting in the front and is very good at being demanding.
anyway, when we finally got there the place was pretty empty but it was really cool! We had drinks and appetizers and vanilla raspberry mixed in our hookah. I had a French Kiss Martini and it tasted like fruit juice, a very dangerous trait for an alcoholic beverage to have. Then we came home and drank the rest of the wine and made some cinnamon rolls.
Sunday we got bagels at the Bagel Smashery and sat down in the park by the water by Frank Sinatra Drive to eat them and enjoy the weather and the New York City view. It was such a nice day!
Later Sof came by and we all went to visit Ivan's parents before they left for Florida. We ate Easter dinner at his sister's new place. I can't believe how these past 3 years have flown by so fast and how much has changed! It was so sad when we were saying our farewells and we were all teary-eyed and trying not to cry.
They really have helped all of us out a lot, from emotional support and monetary support to delicious nutricious food, family events such as family BBQs and his dad spending time with Ivan and going to play golf together, his mom keeping such a role-model home and giving me tips from cleaning to girly things, his parents visiting us and sharing dinner with my parents when they would visit. It was really refreshing how openly the communicated with their kids and it inspired me to be more open with my family. Not having them nearby anymore makes me feel lonely in this state again (it reminds me of when I moved out of NY to central Jersey and didn't really have complete mobile access to see my own parents). I can't imagine what a transition that must be for the rest of the family. We are all really happy that they have reached their goal and that they are doing something for themselves finally after raising all their kids and ensuring they were on their feet before they left. I really hope that one day if I ever have kids that I can be as good as a parents as our own parents!
We are going to visit them in a few weeks while we are in Orlando, so I'm hoping that seeing them in their house will cheer my hunny up.
