DC and NYC Trip

Starting Memorial Day weekend, Dave and I spent a week back east visiting family and sight-seeing. We spent the first few days with Brian's family, eating Karene's amazing cooking and hanging out. We also did a bike ride and went camping overnight at Bullrun campground. We had a great time there.

Mid-week, we took a bus up to New York to visit David's brother, Steven. He lives in Manhatten, just north of Central Park. He let us stay at his apartment -even in his nice queen bed! We loved New York - just walking around, seeing the city and how big it really is. We walked around Central Park, went to the MET, saw Jersey Boys on Broadway, rode on the Staten Island ferry, saw the Statue of Liberty, walked along High-line park, and ate at some vey yummy restaurants. We also walked around Times Square, the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Kennedy Center, and the World Trade Center site. We were starting to get pretty used to the Subway. :) In the evenings, we would hang out with Steven when he got off work.

Leaving Steve's apt. to get on the bus to go to the airport, I twisted my foot coming down some stairs. It started to really hurt, and I had to get wheeled around the airport (which was kind of cool). We had it x-rayed and nothing was broken, but it still hurts sometimes. We were so lucky it happened at the end of our trip! Everything really went pretty well the whole time. Great trip -so glad we did it.
