Vacations remind me of an amusement park ride (a really big one). You wait in line and gear yourself up for a LONG time. You get in your seat, buckle up, take a breath and you're off...zipping around each corner at breakneck speeds taking on enough G forces sure to render you unconscious. And before you realize you've begun you round the last corner, slow to a stop, exit the ride and it's all over. What a thrill!
We had such a great time in NY and DC! We got home over a week ago and I think I'm still wandering around looking for a day to day "rush" equivalent to that of our trip. Adam & Bri you are great traveling companions and Kelly & Brian you are great hosts. And most of all you are all great brothers and sisters. We feel so lucky to have spent this time with all of you. Thanks for all the fun.
A BIG shout out to Grandma and Grandpa Stewart for "vacationing" with our kids at your house. They had a great time. We couldn't have done it without you. We love you!
After the all night flight we hopped in a taxi and drove to Sarabeth's for breakfast. It is a perfectly delightful little place. I had a pumpkin waffle topped with roasted pumpkin seeds, sour cream and strawberries. Delish!
On to Central Park - what a beautiful place for nannies to take other people's children and spend the day! I loved Central Park - such a pretty place with lots to do and see.
Next stop Grand Central Station. So, this is not the most flattering photo but it demonstrates the acoustic abilities of a pretty neat building. I stood in one corner and my sister-in-law, Bri stood in the other and we whispered to each other in this incredibly loud and bustling building and guess what, her voice traveled up over the arch and I could hear her. Pretty cool. We also shared a fantastic piece of cheesecake from Junior's. Mmm..
We did a bunch of other fun stuff but the highlight of our NYC day was definitely WICKED. I could go on and on. I'll spare you in this post but if you talk to me about it prepare yourself.
WE LOVED THIS SHOW IT WAS INCREDIBLE!! We're already looking forward to seeing it again.

Just discovered the post of your awesome trip. It looks like the only thing more fun was staying home with your awesome kids. We loved having them here and look forward to seeing you all again soon. Love you!
Jade and I saw wicked in NY in October we loved it. I bought the CD and was bummed to find out that it is only burned with the original cast because our Glenda was soooo much better. I have the exact same picture on my blog;)
