NYC with the Girls
I'm back from a whirlwind trip to New York City. I left Friday morning at 6:30 am and arrived in NYC around 10:30 am after a brief layover in Detroit. My cousin lives in NYC, so my mom, my aunt and I took advantage of free lodging and planned a girls' weekend. We had so much fun!
On Friday we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which was amazing and huge. Then we took a taxi down to Times Square where we had New York-style pizza and saw a show on Broadway. How fun it was to do some shopping along Times Square!
Saturday we started our day in the Financial District, visiting the NY Stock Exchange. Then we went to Battery Park where we had a good view of the Statue of Liberty (reminded me of choir tour G-Knee!). Then a short walk provided us with a surreal view of Ground Zero. There were lots of flowers and memorials there since it had only been a few days since the anniversary of 9/11.
After another dizzying taxi ride we got off in Chinatown and fought our way through the crowds to look at pashmina scarves and purses. Little Italy is a short ways away, so we walked there to get in on their festival they had going on in the streets. We had a yummy Italian dinner. Then we went back to Times Square to get two huge slices of melt-in-your-mouth cheesecake (which we almost didn't get after offending the deli workers by asking for the toppings on the side...). :)
Sunday was a visit to the Rockefeller Center (where they ice skate in the winter). We walked past the NBC studios, the ABC studios, Radio City Music Hall, Carnegie Hall, etc. It was a beautiful fall day, so we went to Central Park and went for a carousel ride and ambled along the paths.
My flight took off at 7:45 p.m., so we had to cut a beautiful day short. After almost missing my connecting flight in Detroit (after a 20-minute run through the airport!), I was picked up by my wonderful husband who had a less-than-memorable weekend (but that's another story...). Now I'm trying to recover from the whiplash I experienced in the cabs.

The Abominable Bubble-Kids
Nothing could be better than being up to your neck in bubbles!
This worked well the other night when we couldn't think of anything else to do until bedtime. :)

Blog Post 100!!!
This is my 100th blog post! It only took me a year to get to 100. :) It has been so much fun to keep in touch with everyone through blogging!
So I'm taking this chance to confess that I am addicted! For the past few weekends we've had friends come over to play Settlers. Ben and Dayna taught us how to play when we were at their house in April. Now we can't get enough of it! We tend to stay up past midnight playing, and then I go to bed and dream of wheat, sheep, brick, etc. So I've been very tired lately...
Our fun weekend included my parents dropping by to visit. They drove nine hours on Friday to spend Saturday with us and go back home on Sunday! How sweet are they?

Fun on Labor Day
What a gorgeous day it was on Labor Day! Just the perfect kind of weather to visit a water playground.
At Paul's parents' house - deep in thoughts of kings, queens and knights
Noah cooling his heels
Olivia and Chloe - Chloe spent most her time steering clear of the water
