NEW YORK, NEW YORK! (and CT)

We just returned from a week's vacation back east. We spent four days in New York City, which was amazing! It was fun to share all of the sights with the girls, but our feet sure hurt. A few of the things we saw included the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the WTC, the Empire State Building, Central Park, Times Square and more. We were lucky enough to see the Yankees play in the final season at Yankee Stadium, and we watched the 4th of July fireworks over the East River. All in all it was a fantastic weekend.

On Monday, we did some family visiting, which included stops to see both Greg and Vicki's grandpas. We then headed to CT to spend the rest of the week with Vicki's parents. After a whirlwind few days, it was nice to just relax a bit. We spent one day visiting the Potter side of the family, checked out a few movies, spent an afternoon at the beach, got to see our nephews and ate at our favorite seafood restaurant. We also attended Greg's 20th High School Reunion, which was fun and interesting.

All in all it was a fabulous trip, but it was the kind of vacation where you need a vacation to rest once you return home!
