Trip to NY

We finally did it! Jerald and I left both kids with Grandma and Pa for one night and stayed at their lovely apartment in NYC. It was wonderful!!! We drove straight from Boston to NYC. Had lunch in the apartment. We hoped to take the boys around the city a little but it was bad weather. So my parents took the boys to Long Island and it was 2:30 pm - Jerald and I looked at each other like "what do we do now?" We took full advantage and went to see the 3D Avatar movie (it was amazing!) then met our friend Cat from law school and her new fiance Eric for a wonderful dinner. After we ended up meeting our friend Marci's new adorable baby Jordana and seeing our friends Brian, Adam and Suzie. We got to sleep in - walk to breakfast and just enjoy each others company. It was a really great present - thanks Grandma and Pa! We got text updates from my Mom and of course the boys had a great time! They did so great - that later in the week Jerald and ducked out again to have dinner with our friends Sarah & Judd who we haven't seen in a year! Yummy and fun!

Back on Long Island - we all went out to dinner and then enjoyed the next couple of days hanging around. Pa had to go to work - but was able to get home to give baths, read books and spend some great time with us.

One of the cuter moments happened Sunday at dinner. I can't remember how it came up - but Pa ended up telling Seth the story of Peter Pan. Seth was so into it that on Monday Pa went to two bookstores and came home with Seth's own copy of the story. They spent the next two nights reading it. So sweet!

It was too cold to do much out of the house - but one day we bundled everyone up and went to the library. It brought back such great memories reading to the boys in the same kids section from my youth.

Grandma was amazing as always - both boys had colds and unfortunately they shared too well with her! Seth and Justin had so much fun with Grandma - Seth cried when we left this morning. We cheered him up with the thought that Grandma and Pa will come and visit us very soon!
