Hello From Mayo

Hi Friends,

Today, we explored the city a bit.  We left Jersey City around noon and didn't return back here until about 9:30 this evening.  We smelled the smells of Little Italy, walked through the fishy water on the streets of China Town and had lovely conversation with friends (Carlie and Matt) over a drink at the Beer Garden (Water Taxi Beach) and dinner at il Brigante.  il Brigante was AM-AH-ZING!!  I highly recommend this restaurant, should you be in the South Street Seaport area.  (Financial District)  The Water Taxi Beach was a great place to chill on a wonderful day like today.  It was right on the pier and it's called a "beach" (we're assuming) because they have tables in sand and it's by the river.  Either way - pretty awesome.  The weather was in our corner this evening as well.  Carlie Mayo, whom Chad has been friends with since high school, and her boyfriend had a great time catching up and learning more about the city.  The video below is a little "hello" from Ms. Mayo. :)

Hello friends and family!  Welcome to our new blog/vlog!  We hope to keep you updated with our happenings in the big city as well as our small adventures in everyday life!!  The ride up to Jersey City went smoothly.  We left Saturday morning and got to Jon's house around 9:00pm.  That night we unpacked, had some snacks and crashed!!  We were exhausted from our trip, but excited to finally be here.  Our car ride adventure is posted below, so get ready for a little laugh.  Yesterday we had breakfast, ran some errands, and got a little tour of Jersey City and Hoboken.  We saw Carlo's Bakery (yes, that's the Cake Boss on TLC), we drove through Liberty Park to see the backside of Lady Liberty, and even almost caught the Puerto Rican Parade!  Too bad we were a little early for that.  Last night Jon Brown took us to meet some of his friends.  They were a hoot.  We are getting acquainted with our surroundings and learning more and more about what to expect here in Old Bergan!  Check back soon for our first "city" experience as residents as well as a tour of our house and roomies!
