02-23/Chick-Fil-A Trek 09 Volume 1

On a beautiful Saturday, the decision was made to battle city traffic enroute to the Paramus Park Mall. The journey started in Bay Shore, NY, stopping on the West Side of Manhattan, then across the GW to beautiful New Jersey.



Crossing the RFK to join the FDR

After an unexplained stoppage on the FDR, I exited to cross the city over to West End to pick up Paps. After a bathroom break, we loaded up the Passat and began our trek.




'He went to Jared.....' then back again to return it.

We crossed the GW without problem, but route 17 was found to be backed up. After 2 miles of slow go, we saw a group of women protesting in front of a fur store. Coincidentally, this was where the traffic broke up. After we cursed at them, with the windows closed of course, we started our 55 mph drive to Paramus Park. After a short while, we arrived..



"Stand next to your car like a real = = = = = "

We entered the mall, tempted by 50 percent off suits in Macy's. Unrelenting we made our way to the food court.



Then in the distance...




Up the stairs, we had arrived.




Today was a different type of TRIathlon training.



Note: We both got the "deluxe" for an added fee. This consisted of lettuce and a slice of tomato.
Our round 2 sandwiches were regular, and much better without this extra riffraff.

We ate, and then ate again.




Dessert.


"I need Sleepless in Seattle, STAT"

The damage.




It was a fantastic trip, and another chapter in "Here's proof that my life is not great." I foresee a trip much sooner than in a year. The Chick-Fil-A Express at NYU can go suck it.
