We just got back from a high energy trip to New York.  A quick rundown of the experience includes: double decker air mattress with headboard, old friends, new friends, new museum (hell yes!), national history museum, extreme mammals, spicy macaroni and cheese, super-sized squash, pho, china town massages & cupping, cupping hickeys, stanley the guinea pig, tater heaven, beautiful weather, catching up about old projects, catching up about new projects, high fives, the metro.

Stanley.

massage, cupping, strange oil, “Tips”

At Kelsey’s house for dinner Monday night. Note huge butternut squash on the mantle.

We stayed a couple nights with Josh’s brother Elan who has a great view of the city.  Elan officially has the coolest job of all, he’s a director at the Natural History Museum and gets to regularly interface with research scientists, and of course we had to drop in to visit him there.

It is 20 degrees cooler in antler shade.

We had a great time and we’re excited to be back with a slightly higher interest in breeding guinea pigs.
