It was hard to say goodbye to the kids, but we would be back on Saturday, so that wasn't long. Teach and Twiz let us drive their Altima into New York. It was a nice drive, but I was glad Scout was behind the wheel.
It wasn't long before we approached the famous Lincoln Tunnel. I had been through it with my sweetie, but Scout had never been.
Now before I tell this story, I want to remind you that we had a rare weather event a few days ago that put 2 feet of snow on the ground, covering signs and other important stuff.
Scout did fine in the tunnel. She wasn't stressed at all.
I was navigating, and when we came out of the tunnel, I knew which way we had to go from the gps. The problem was the temporary barricades and piles of snow. It threw me. So the turn I sent Scout on took us right back through the Tunnel!
You know what that meant...
By our 3rd time through, Scout was definitely a pro. To get in the right lane though, we had to change lanes inside the tunnel. As it turned out, the other lane with the proper turn, belonged to buses. We were not the only one sneaking over...
Soon we were in the area; I could tell by the tall buildings.

Our hotel was on 57th street, but the snow made it difficult to find parking. We drove a large square around our hotel 3 times before Scout did something typical "New Yorker." She pulled partway into the snow in front of our hotel and she turned on her hazards!
Anyway.
We finally got parked and we settled in. Scout is taking a much needed break.
At least the room is nice.
