Connecticut, New York City, and Family

Evan and I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Connecticut to visit my sister Lillian and her sweet family. We miss them so much. While there, we took the opportunity to head into New York City during our visit. Fun, fun, fun.





















Evan was so much fun to travel with, such a sweet, young man.  He just went with the flow and didn't get too worried when we took the wrong train into the city or took the subway in the wrong direction, which, I'm sorry to say, happened more than one time.  It was fun to explore the big city with him.

The unfortunate thing about the trip is that we happened to be there during very unfriendly weather. It rained and snowed and was super cold. However, we didn't let it stop us.... we toured the city and enjoyed every minute.





















Of course, we took some time to visit the new 9/11 memorial. It was beautiful.







One of our main goals in visiting New York city was to take some time to have a yummy, frozen, hot chocolate at Serendipity.  Even though it was snowing, it was in fact a record-breaking snowstorm we were braving, we had to have the frozen, hot chocolate.  'Cause that's just how we roll.

The best part of all was spending time with my beautiful sis, Lillian, and her lovely family. We loved spending time with her cute kids and getting to know them a little better.  The cutest kids ever.... except for my kids, of course.














A big, big thank you to Lillian and Matt for their hospitality, for sharing their home and food and kindness.  Also, a big thanks to cute Jackson for letting us take over his room.  Evan and I had a great trip.

We LOVED having you and Evan to visit. It was so great. I had fun going to the city with you even though it was freezing cold! The kids enjoyed you, too! Please come again soon, okay?
