It's been a while ago now that we were in New York but I had photos so I had to share. We had lots of people we wanted to see and lots of places we wanted to eat while there. We tried to have the two come together as often as we could.
We didn't get as near as many pictures as we should have; we were having such a good time that we'd forget to take the camera out. We saw former co-workers, old friends from church, my college roommate Bethany, and Rick's college roommate Perkins and his family. We spent a Saturday showing the Perkins family the sights since they had only moved to the tri-state area two weeks before. At the zoo we ran into my friend Anna from work that had left on maternity leave about 18 months before we moved to Sydney. It was crazy that we saw her but it was awesome.
We picked a not-so-good time to visit New York as we had to suffer through a heat wave while there. After having been there now with a child and in the middle of such hot, sticky weather Rick and I are a bit more reassured by our decision to move to Cleveland. Hey we still love NYC, but it would be tough having a kid there. Piper never got a nap in her crib; it was always in the stroller while we were out.
Our time went by way too quickly and we're so happy that we got to go. It did my heart good to see the city again. A big shout-out to Nicole for letting us stay at her apartment and to Martina for helping us get situated while there. You guys rock!
Welcome to New York!

Looking at Manhattan from Brooklyn. We had just had pizza from Grimaldi's and ice cream from the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory. Heaven.

Aaah, New York. There's nothing like it. Fun pics. How's Cleveland rocking?
Bethany looks great! I'm so glad you got a chance to see her. I hope she's doing well!
Wow! What a whirlwind couple of months. I don't blame Piper for wanting to bite you - crazy schedule! Fun photos. You guys cram a lot into a trip when you go. I wanted to share that sunday at Serendipty! Grimaldi's? Brooklyn Bridge - hey, I miss NYC! See you soon in Cleveland. Piper, no biting grandma!
Love -
Mom
