Just to show that they love one another

bunny_hugger's brother pointed out we were in a great area, DUMBO, to wander around and take in sights (the acronym is for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, a label chosen in the late 70s to fend off developers by making the area sound less appealing), but she was worried that I would be too cold to wander around for long. He recommended a bar, though, and a candy shop, which were near enough.

( The day may have sounded like a lot. It was. It was all wonderful; we could've used more day, although it left us exhausted as it was.  )

All this got us back home --- well, to my home --- somewhere very close to the time change. We had, sadly, missed the chance to have birthday cake with my parents, but we'd find time for that Sunday, surely.
