52 Weeks ~ 2017: Week 17

Week 17 - weekly update includes April vacation fun and our trip to NYC!

Tuesday April 25

Today I took the boys to the studio to take their spring portraits!

Wednesday April 26th

We headed to NYC for a few days.  Once we checked into the hotel we decided to walk down to Central Park and walk around before eating dinner at Todd English Food Hall.

Todd English Food Hall - a little something for everyone!

Thursday April 27th

We had dinner reservations at 5pm and the show didn't start until 7pm so we decided to spend the morning at the Museum of Natural History!  After the museum we had some downtime at the hotel and then headed to dinner at Carmine's.  It was delicious, but you have to be willing to share something with the table.  We ordered Chicken and Eggplant Parm and spaghetti with sausage.  There were so many other dishes I would have tried at this place.  Maybe next time I need to go with a bigger group!

Fun at the museum!

While killing some time before dinner we stopped in at the M&M store and ran into the Blue M&M!

Dinner at Carmine's did not disappoint!

We are ready for the show!

Friday April 28th

We did not have to check out of the hotel until 1pm so we headed our early and went to the Empire State Building.  We had wanted to do the Statue of Liberty, but I didn't plan that out in advance so the Empire State Building, with a view of the Statue of Liberty would have to do!

On the 86th floor!

All the way to the top!

52 Weeks ~ 2017: Week 13

March 26 to April 1st

This week was a blur.  I had board meetings, baseball meetings and helped with the Book Fair and Ice Cream Social at the school and realized I didn't take one single picture!  I knew moving to a weekly posting system was going to be a necessity with how busy life has become for all of us!
