My brother Rob and his wife Leslie came not too long after Karen's parents for a whirlwind visit. We had an unspoken agreement to try and tire ourselves out as quickly as possible by cramming about four days' worth of visiting into just two days.
This is them. Such nice folks!
The number one thing they wanted to accomplish this visit was seeing this historic cemetery. Which, okay, is a little odd. But! It was in fact very beautiful, and had some incredible architecture. This, for example, is the cemetery's chapel, and was designed by the same team that made Grand Central Station. I guess you could call it "Grand Ghost Central."
This is the view from next to that chapel. With that doorway built into the hillside, it reminds me of Hobbit Holes in the Shire.
This is some kids you may be familiar with, looking amazing despite the temperature, which was honestly 1000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Then we went to Cony Island. Rob turned out to be a total master of this one game, where you hit a button to make a light stop moving right on a little target. He won about a million tickets, but gave up on redeeming them because the line was too long, and the prizes were incredibly dumb. These very tickets are sitting under my bedside table this very instant!
This is the view from a pier at Coney Island. There were a fair number of people there!
