"The Big City"

Pictures from around the town for my last entry about my first trip to the "Big City". Thats right New York!   Thank you Kristi for showing me your town. It was so cool to have a personal guide while taming the wilds of the cities jungle...  From having New York Cheese cake (Thank you Beth for pressing the purchase), John's pizza, wine, and apps at a pub before Cirque du Soleil on Broadway. I even learned how to hail a cab while there. Who would have thought that could be so power inducing! I have to have a shut out for the grand time of boot shopping while there as well. We all got some killer boots...Way to go girls!

Remembering ... 9-11

As part of our girls weekend we decided to visit the 9-11 memorial and museum.  New York was having a beautiful sunny fall day.  It was warm with a slight breeze felt as we exited the cab.  We arrived early on Saturday morning to the grounds. The city was quiet for New York standards.  You could hear the tide pools that now take the place of the towers. The rush of water was peaceful despite that peace there was a heaviness, and a sad emptiness here as I stood at the pools edge.  New York and all the American people who assisted in the recovery and rebuilding of these grounds did great work to honor our fallen from that horrible day.  Kristi, Beth, and myself all shared our recollections from the day as if it had just happened. We each had our own memories mine was that I was working 4 miles from President Bush when the towers were attached. He was at Booker Middle 

School reading to the kids that morning.  

Girls In New York City...

My first trip to New York was a quick one but filled with such meaningful events.  I got the chance to go this past October 2016.  The weather went from freezing cold up to being a warm fall day.  In the next few weeks I will let you in on some of those moments shared between us girls. Kristi, Beth and I had a great time! Shopping, dinning, walking, cab rides, and lots of fun!
