New York Revisited

I gave Katy's parents a much needed rest and met up with my extended family in New York.
First, I met up with Cameron and Evan in Penn Station and planned to pull an all-nighter as they had a 7AM flight to catch. I got to see Cameron's office space in Brooklyn an it was incredible. The view transfixed on the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan, and the office was just as amazing. The all-nighter had its humble beginnings with appetizers in Brooklyn from there we spilled into Manhattan, and finally left each other confused on the subway. Them going to the airport, me going to Bethpage.
Falling asleep on the train, getting lost in the rain, I stumbled into Aunt Betty's and slept off the night. I spent the week switching between Uncle Chuck's and Aunt Betty's until Katy came in on the ferry at Port Jefferson on the back stretch of the trip. We would spend the night with my cousins Ryan, Janelle, and Charlie. The next day Uncle Chuck and Rose would drive us all the way back to Katy's house in Connecticut.
A short stint in New York landed Chuck and I in Brooklyn and Queens, we drove through the Polish and Irish ghettos to see the places where my Pops, his brothers, and my grandparents grew up. The detour was littered with stories of NY childhood shananigans and stupidity. I now have all types of dirt on everyone in the family. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
This is grandma and grandpa's first house together. Uncle Chuck ran out in the middle of the street and got hit by an 18-wheeler. Idiot.
This is where my grandpa lived with his 6 other brothers
My grandma's house when she moved from Ireland and lived with her 5 other sisters, the youngest still lives there

The church where Grandma married Grandpa

The house where Grandma raised my Pops and Chuck before they moved to California.

Behind Chuck lies the very spot in their backyard where my dad and a few friends burried him up to his neck. When will he learn?
