New York City


Boston is only 4 hours away from New York. Brien and I have never been and it was definitely on our list of things to do. We went with Tyler, Jess, and their 2 boys. We were there for 3 nights/4 days that that was enough for me! The girls did great considering how long our days were with 30 minute naps. They were perfect on our way there...as long as the movies were playing! They slept great in the hotel. I didn't sleep that well though. Camdyn sucks her thumb...and it is l-o-u-d...almost all night long...
We loved New York and the only thing we didn't get to do was see a show. It was fun but we don't care if we ever go back! It was way too BIG and busy with way too many people!

The girls LOVED riding on top of the bus. It was a great way to see the city!


Chinatown


We spent most of our 2nd day at Central Park. The kids loved it and it was a nice break from the city.

It was our first official 'vacation' with the girls and I'm looking forward to many more!

  1. Mike got an interview in New York City. He lived there for a month last summer and the interview is at the hospital he worked at while there. I'm TERRIFIED about living in NYC with 2 kids!! Not my first choice. Definitely a fun place to visit and then be able to go home!! :)
