The BIG Apple with my oldest!

It's getting too real that Abigail is about to start her SENIOR year!  I'm trying to check off some of her bucket list items before this end comes quickly to a close.  I have a reeling that I'm going to have my running shoes on year in order to keep up with all the "lasts".

Planes, trains, and automobiles...and LOTS of walking!

Took the ferry over to Staten Island.  Lady Liberty in the background.

Humbling to see take Abigail to the Twin Towers Memorial.  Abigail was due on 9/11 so she's heard us talk about the terror of that horrible day in history all her life.  The Lord saw fit she arrive three days early, thankfully.  David was furloughed from his new commercial airline job of three months soon after.  It was a crazy time in our family as well as the entire country, of course.

Time out for some yummy pizza on the street!

HAD to stop in at our fave.

In the craziness of Times Square

Central Park

We searched and searched for a cool rooftop.  Found one and this was overlooking Lincoln Center!

LOVE you, baby big girl!  I had a blast spending a whirlwind trip with you.  I'm shaking in all these sweet memories with you.

As you can read...It was challenge getting home from our NY adventure! We waited on 5 flights.  They called our names. Yes, BOTH our names.  Whew! WE thought we were all good, but when we walked up to the gate they had room for only one.  I sent Abigail. Five minutes later she reappeared from the jet bridge. (and we texting all that trying to figure what to do all in a split second!).  They'd miscounted and now she wasn't on board!  So..."the Team" got to wait for another flight.  WE finally got on the 6th and final flight of the night.  We realized we looked exactly the same.  We both had white shirts on, ripped jeans and tennis shoes, same glasses, same earrings, and both have red backpacks. Monkey see, monkey do!  Fun times!
