The family and I (minus the girls) took a trip to New York for the week of Fourth of July! It was fantastic! We definitely classified this as a trip, not a vacation! We were non stop moving from morning to night. Our hotel was located in the heart of Times Square which was so much fun! We saw everything on the “tourest to do list” haha. It was a jammed packed week!
My good friend Lacey was also inNew York, studying at the Teacher’s College of Columbia, (She’s getting her second Master’s!!!) She was the reason this trip was put into motion. Adrian and I met up with Lacey for the fireworks show. Unfortunately, we were directed in the wrong direction and we ended up smooshed between two large buildings with a very limited view of the fireworks. It was so ridiculously hot due to it being summer and the fact that we were packed like sardines! It’s still fun to say that we were in New York on the Fourth of July!
Off we go!
