Memorial Day Weekend in Yardley, Newtown, Bucks County post.

Wanted to take a break from real estate posts, for today, and talk about the Memorial Day weekend, that we just finished. This weekend is always meaningful to me, becuase besides the obvious, I was married over the Memorial day weekend, in 1974! For those, including me, who are math challenged, that means that I just celebrated my 35th wedding anniversary. (May 25th, was the date)

35th wedding anniversary post

Jane and I really had a nice weekend, and it is somewhat relevant to real estate, becuase if you are not really that familiar with where Yardley is, in Bucks County, there are very few areas in the country, where we could have spent part of the weekend in 2 great cities, litterally, just minutes away.

Saturday night, be drove into Philadelphia, which is an easy 30 minute trip, down 95. It was an absolutely perfect spring evening. We walked around Penns Landing, by the river, in Philadelphia, and had dinner at a pretty new restaurant, called Zahav. The restaurant was amazing! It is features absolutely declisious, Middle Eastern food, sort of typical of what you would find in a restaurant in Jerusalem. It is pretty reasonably priced, and is wonderful. We had amazing Pita & Humus, along with incredible chicken, lamb, vegetables and salads. It is a bit different, but you won’t be dissapointed if you try it.

Sunday afternoon, we drove up to New York, to see the show, “Next To Normal“, which was fantastic. Takes about 75 minutes, door to door, to drive into the city, on a non-traffic kind of day. We drove in early, and spent several houses strolling the flea markets, on Broadway, which was closed to traffic from about 35th all the way to Central Park. The show is a rock opera, of sorts, and features Alice Ripley, who actually performed with Peter Nero and the Philly Pops, at the Trenton War Memorial show, almost 7 years ago. The play is about a dis-functional family, trying to take care of each other. It is really a great show!

So, we had a fantastic, anniversary weekend. Made me appreciate where we live, becuase besides having all sorts of wonderful things to do, right here in Bucks County, if you want to take advantage of cultural opportunities offered by big cities, Philadelphia and New York are just minutes away. It was a great way to celebrate our 35th anniversary. Now on to the next 35!
