There's No Place Like Home..


Well, we are back from NYC! The weather (for the most part) was miserable. Cold, VERY windy, and pouring rain. However! It was a wonderful trip!! I was able to see some old friends from ACU, take Geof around to see the sights, get some shopping in, and we even caught 5th row center seats for the Broadway musical, WICKED. (my new favorite by the way). Stephanie J. Block played the lead, and if you haven't heard her sing "Defining Gravity" - look it up on youtube!!! We did go to Ground Zero and see the plans for the World Trade Center Memorial. They are still working on those enormous holes where the towers stood. It was unreal. And we actually caught them removing the very last staircase from the sight to take to a museum. The media was everywhere. It was a pretty surreal experience. And one of my favorite nights was when we went to the Village Vanguard to hear the Lou Donaldson Quartet w/ Lonnie Smith on organ. Whew!!! Loved it!

Here are pictures from our trip. I was glad to get home and see Max on Monday!!










We had a fun time, but I'm glad to be home!! John David and his girlfriend, Lindsay will be here visiting us tonight thru Monday. Can't wait!!! I'm sure I'll have pictures and such to share later next week... have a fun weekend!
