On Saturday, 3/18, we decided to head to CT to spend some time with my cousin Betty and her little girl Autumn. The snow strom last night kind of worried us, and we've been watching the road condition closely. In the morning, Jeff drove away for a while(we thought he was in a hurry he didn't even have time to say goodbye!!), then he came back and told us the highway is very clean. So we took some pictures with the host and the boys got to play with the snow a little, then we were ready to leave NY and say goodbye. I felt a little sad.. it has been a WONDERFUL week with my old friend, and it felt so good to be together and just hang out. But good time is always short, we said our byes and hopefully we will meet again in Taiwan in June.
We finally got to use our rental car
The highway is super clean. We got to see how the trucks clean the snow on the road, very cool!! We decided to go to Flusing 1st to get some food and the yummy tri-color cake rolls... it's Saturday so it's packed with people... although there is snow everyone on the sides of the roads, people wanted to come out of the house and do some grocery shopping I guess. We went to buy the cake rolls and some bread, then I saw a big restaurant called "旺角". It's got roast ducks and BBQ meat, just what we were looking for. We bought 1/2 duck and some BBQ meat, then we went to buy the 排骨飯... Philip realized he has the metro cards with money in there, so he called Joyce to see if she was near(she was waiting for her FIL's van to be fixed), and such a coincident, we ended up in the 排骨飯 restaurant !!! Now it's really time to say good bye. 
The drive to CT was very smooth, the road condition was perfect, no snow or ice at all. The norther we go, the more snow we see. Its so beautiful, like a perfect white world. The kids took their naps in the ride, and I just enjoyed watching their sleeping faces.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
This was Timothy holding Acacia's hand in the ride... So sweet!!
Finally we reached uncle's house... It's great to see Betty and Autumn again... Autumn is so tall !! She is the sweetest girl I know. The boys had fun playing with the snow with Autumn in the yard. The we went to an elementary nearby to sled... there was 12 inches of snow last night so it was PERFECT to sled. The kids had tons of fun.. and Acacia had fun watching for a few minutes(still have a running nose so we stay in the car).
(This is uncle's yard)
Then we went to meet Aunt then we all went to eat dinner at a restaurant. I was hoping to eat Aunt's homecooking because she cooks so well, but she was too tired from cleaning the snow. We then went back to our hotel to get a nice night of rest. (Residence Inn).
The breakfast was quite nice, hot and delicious.
We went to Uncle's house agian to spend some more time before we have to leave for Dallas in the afternoon. The boys wanted to sled again, so they went, and came back soon with Jacob's face bleeding. I was a little shocked to see him crying and his face coverd with blood... while he and timothy sled together, they lost balance and fell... OUCH!!! Too bad this happened on the very last day of our relaxing trip. But all is well. At least they got the fun experience!
It's time to say goodbye again. Timothy was very upset he didn't want to say goodbye. I know he enjoyed playing with his cousin Autumn and hopefully next time we can spend more time with them! Betty said maybe they can visit us in Texas some time in the future! Can't wait!!!
Good time always goes by so quickly.. it's already time to go home. OH home sweet home. It felt like a million dollar house because now we realized how expensive housing in NY is. Philip said now he feels ok we can upgrade to another house in about 3 years!!! HAHA!!!
