My parents took me and the boys, plus Amanda and Andy, on a glorious long weekend in New York City. There were many shows and museums and snacking. Jack really expanded his theater experience. The kids have both been to NYC before but say they hardly remember/don’t remember at all. Now they have a head full of memories of the sights, smells, and strangeness of that great city. We had such a wonderful time!
I’m gonna make a huge picture dump and caption just a few things. I wish we had pooled all our photos before splitting up at the end. Alas!
