New York

200 posts came and went in my lack of planning surrounding our adventures... but I promise the giveaway is coming soon, I just need to get over sick, teething, ear infected, immunized children and go buy another prize cause the sick, miserable, sleep-deprived husband ate one of the prizes.

Hopefully we will all be germ-free for our next visitors... speaking of which, we have a little gap- anyone up for a visit BEFORE the end of April?! :)

Until then here's our pics from New York, which we are already planning a return trip for since we maybe saw a total of 5 hours of the city and that may be generous!

Friday evening Tyson stayed in with Micah and Hallie while I ventured at with the rest of the bunch (George, Mandy, & kids & her sister Christy & Nate) for a late night excursion to Times Square. I'll let the pictures do the talking, after saying- we will be returning, that Toys R Us is HUGE! I can't wait to take Micah and Hallie in there with the Indoor Ferris Wheel- its bound to be good times!

Here's the pics from our Staten Island Ferry trip...Brooklyn BridgeRandom Old Church in the Financial District on our attempted subway excursion (if anyone has any New York subway knowledge we'd love to hear it, we were totally clueless!) More randomness- we saw Alexander Hamilton's grave in the graveyard next to the church. I still need to figure out what this was, but really whatever it was, it was majestic. Hallie was really excited about this whole excursion can you tell? Our philosophy was- grin and bear it...Our ferry ride back was breathtaking with the sunset, but (there's always a but isn't there!) the battery in the camera died and we forgot the spare at the hotel. The little spear above my head is the statue of liberty.

We topped Sunday off with a swim at George and Mandy's hotel in Baltimore and really we can't wait to go back to New York AND actually see the Poteet's when we aren't all sick!
