East Coast Transit Adventure

After leaving DC, we embarked on an east coast tour while our belongings were making their way across the country

Our first stop was Sunil's alma mater, which we arrived at by Amtrak and NJ Transit


We then spent a nice weekend with our New Jersey family before heading to the mother of all subway systems in the big apple



Our next stop was Northampton, MA where we went kayaking, played hide and seek on a mountain and raced on a track



 
Our next stop was Boston where we relived our youth, saw the sights, took a respite from the heat at the Boston Public Library, and met with old friends




 
They even had a mini Washington monument!

 
Our last stop was New Haven where Milan made a new friend






Summer 2022 - Birthdays on the Road

The downside of summer birthdays is having birthday parties when everyone is on vacation.

On the other hand, sometimes you end up with multiple celebrations

Celebration #1 was a party in Virginia with friends and family


Milan celebrated his actual birthday in New Jersey and was surprised with a serenade and a cake


Sunil celebrated his birthday in Boston with some tasty vegetarian ramen

 
By the time Kirin's actual birthday rolled around, we were back in California and able to eat at a local favorite

 
Kirin also took some of his buddies to the arcade

 
And we took some birthday photos to commemorate the occasion
