In June my daughter and I flew to New York my dad Anthony Barboza had an art exhibit in NY that also had pieces from two of my sisters in them. We headed out on the first flight in the morning to DC. Now typically I will not check my bag but the gate agent suggested it because the overhead bins were full. All the flights to NY looked good when we left home. After landing in DC we found out that the flight before ours had been cancelled. Then within minutes our flight cancelled and the one after it. At that point I realized there was no way we were getting to New York by plane. We then decided to take a bus to New York it’s about a 5 hour bus ride. We then turned to leave the airport when my daughter reminded me that my luggage was in the plane. I spoke to the gate agent and she suggested I go downstairs to baggage claim and ask them if they can get my bag off the plane. We headed downstairs and I spoke to someone there. They were able to get my luggage off the plane to me. This was great news. We then headed to the bus stop in DC where we caught a Mega Bus for about $30 each. The show started at 6 pm and we would get there around 5ish. Now I can spend 8 hours on a plane flying to Europe but a 5 hour bus ride to New York seemed a whole lot longer. My daughter was sleeping on me and the bus was slow moving. The Mega bus does have a bathroom so it wasn’t that bad. When we got to NYC, which was later than we wanted because we got stuck in traffic crossing the bridge, we hopped on the subway and headed to my mom’s house. We got changed quickly and headed downtown again. We arrived at the art exhibit a little late (about an hour) and walked around. There were many people there, here are a few pictures of my dad’s paintings.

If you would like to look at any of his other work or purchase something his website is www.Barbozastudio.com. He is a well known photographer. Two of my sisters had pieces in the show also, my sister Leticia had this piece.
If you would like to purchase her piece just drop me a line and I will put you in touch with her. We took a few family photos here is my dad with all his kids and my daughter.
It was a great art show but by the time we left it was pouring rain and we got soak and wet the rain jacket I had purchased from Target was quite stylish but did not repel water at all. Guess I have to remember that for the next time I wear it. The next day we went downtown to the 14th Street MarkeT. I took this picture at one of the subway stations.
The flowers were beautiful and the strawberries below were yummy looking. We did buy some of the strawberries and they tasted great.
I wanted to knit or crochet a sweater or something when I saw this yarn but don’t have the time. Below is the tag the yarn colors were so bright. 
I haven’t looked or priced out the yarn because I don’t have time in my schedule to use it for anything. Next we saw a big pile of mushrooms. These look way better than what they sell at the store.
And here are some more flowers
We then headed back to my mom’s house. They had been redoing the subway station where she lives and put in this stained glass window. They did a really nice job refurbishing the station.
The next day my daughter and I headed back home without any airline problems which is good because I didn’t want to take the bus again. Like I said I would much rather be on an 8 hour flight than a 5 hour bus ride.
Next up is my trip up to Philly for the day for my Global Entry
