My family and I are heading up to New York City for a couple of days. We’ll be driving – we find that to be less of a pain in the butt
than the expense, headaches, and groping of flying. The city is great the week before Christmas – we first did this in ’03, and have been back a couple of times since then. We’re taking my Mom, who hasn’t been there since she was a teenager. It’ll be one of the first times since my Dad died that she’s been on multi-day trip out of town. We’re looking forward to having a good time, and doing all the touristy stuff: Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, Macy’s, Central Park, Museum of Natural History – all that.
I’ll be posting some while we’re there, but it will be a little more sporadic than usual. We’ll be back just in time for Christmas.
