Patriotism & The Big Apple

As promised this post is much for exciting than the last. Andrew and I just got back from a trip to Washington D.C. and New York (yes all alone..10 days!!). It was so much fun, but we missed our boy and are glad to be home.

We went with Andrew's work, a conference they go to/ run every year. D.C. was just conference, we had a few days to get out a see a few things, but mostly we just worked for the conference (both of us...which made it a cheaper trip, so nice). We both have been there before so we hit up somethings we have never seen. First, Mt. Vernon the home of George and Martha Washington, we also went to the archives & Ford's Theater.

One cool thing was we were in D.C. for the Healthcare bill passing. Protesters everywhere, hilarious signs, and people yelling at any stranger on the street if they had differing opinion. Andrew even joined in the protest!

New York was just fun! We did nearly everything. Staten Island Ferry, Central Park, Rockefeller Center, saw three musicals, Billy Elliot, Mary Poppins & Mama Mia (my favorite); We went to FAO Schwartz Toy Store (picture of us being from Harry Potter), did Canal Street in Chinatown, Little Italy, shopped the largest Macy's in the world (plus many more stores) and even saw the United Nations (saw even more on our long walks around the city)

We had an amazing time, and were so excited to see Jack that Drew and he slept next to each other that night :).

Enjoy!
