Last week I came back from the New York trip and I’m FINALLY getting around to blogging about it.\u00a0 It was so much fun.\u00a0 Tiring, anxiety-inducing at times, and very trying for Sam, but totally worth it.\u00a0 Amanda arranged a fabulous package of the city for the students and us chaperones, and I my parents were wonderful in accommodating and assisting with my eight month old.\u00a0 Sam was a trooper, really.\u00a0 Considering how strange and off-routine we were, he was generally happy.<\/p>\n

The best way to share is with pictures!\u00a0 I decided to break tradition.\u00a0 Instead of sharing chronological photos, I’m grouping them by type.\u00a0 All my photos are in this flickr set<\/a>.\u00a0 You can click on any below to see the bigger version.\u00a0
