So despite the fact that there are apparently no hotel rooms to be found in the Big Apple, the always resourceful DMV scored us a place at the Soho Grand, which is very pet friendly. So the two of us along with the two pooches will be traveling north to see The Gates. My mother and sister were there this week and they said it is wonderful. So it just really seemed like something we did not want to miss. So I'll report back. Satellite photo of The Gates from 23 miles in space from National Geographic.
The CJD playlist...

Yes, everybody on the planet has apparently read it, but I have been LOVING it. I don't want it to end. But whatever you do, don't tell me how it ends! (*****)
