We slept in thanks to the total darkness offered by the windowless basement bunk bed room which Abe so enjoyed as a child – Arielle less so because it always feels like the middle of the night. We got ready for Father’s Day, and Arielle went out to buy some fruits and veggies that she was thrilled to platter given that we hadn’t hosted a meal in months. Abe thought the blueberries were especially delicious, but her pride and joy were the pineapple and watermelon that she put back into their rinds to serve after she cut them. We had some reheated bagels, which were still better than most fresh bread across the country, and lox for breakfast before the rest of the family arrived. Donald, Nancy, Hannah, Sharon, Rachel, and Laura all arrived, and we spent the afternoon hanging out by the pool.
We went back to Butera’s for a delicious early dinner. Arielle got cauliflower pizza and shared some of Hannah’s penne alla vodka, while Abe got the same steak he had eaten the night before.
We left around 6:30pm, and it only took us about an hour and twenty minutes to get back to Westchester. We were thrilled to have made it back to our point of origin, with one week to relax before our next big trip: Europe!
