San Francisco Bound

This is it. It's been a week of "lasts." Last time in Central Park (finally got to see the fall colors), last time dragging bags to the LIRR (not really gonna miss that), and last time at T5 in JFK ... at least for awhile.

It's crazy to think that our tickets to SF are one-way, but we're really excited about what's next. Before that though, let's talk about what's been--the "Top 10's" (in no particular order):

Top 10 Favorite Foods:
  1. Cuban Sandwich, Yellow Rice & Grilled Corn on the Cob from Cafe Habana
  2. Burger, Fries & Peanut Butter Concrete (extra PB) from the Shake Shack.
  3. Business Lunch from Del Frisco's Steakhouse
  4. Breakfast (at any time other than breakfast time) at Moonstruck Diner
  5. Peanut Butter Chocolate cookies from Levain Bakery
  6. Banana Pudding from Magnolia's Bakery
  7. Bangkok Tasty Thai food (pretty much anything they make)
  8. Chirpin' Chicken BBQ
  9. Grimaldi's Pizza
  10. Cake Batter Ice Cream w/ Peanut Butter Cup & Brownie from Cold Stone (ok, you can get that anywhere, but we got it a lot in NYC)
Ahhh, we've been so healthy the last couple years.

Top 10 Favorite Memories:
  1. Moving into our very first apartment together
  2. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade--both years
  3. Christmas in NYC (oh man are we gonna miss that)
  4. Showing NYC off to all our visitors
  5. Driving thru Westchester County in the fall
  6. Maine
  7. The Bahamas
  8. Princeton
  9. Lancaster County
  10. Driving to Connecticut to find apples...stumbling upon Yale University instead

Top 5 Worst Memories (hey, there's just not that much to hate):
  1. Getting sick from The Goodburger while we were staying with our friend Robert before we moved into our apartment
  2. H's infamous run-in with the tie street vendor
  3. Anytime it rained while we were outside. Umbrellas aren't made for NYC rain.
  4. Carrying a GIANT mirror home from IKEA because it wouldn't fit in a cab and our Zipcar time was up.
  5. Carrying our new TV home on the Subway.
It's been one crazy ride ...

I was just looking to track your flight, and came upon your blog. Was wondering if you were going to have a LBFNYC (last blog from...) Can't wait for you guys to be so much closer to your family in Utah, 12 hour drive away. Heck, we could see you every weekend (practically)! J and R so excited to pick you up and show you around SF! Love ya!

awh, I thought about you guys this morning at 10am as I was running. I thought, wow, Jed and Heather are gone, sad. We'll look for more updates on SF, and who knows, we might be joining you in a couple of years.
