NYC for Breea's 16th Bday

 Happy 16th Birthday Breea!  Grammy and my sister and I took the girls to NYC to celebrate.  Breea had never been before and Dawson and I are always up for some traveling...especially NYC, one of our favorite places to be and explore.


This trip was mostly about showing Breea around.  We tried to show her many of the beautiful sights.  Here we are at the top of the Empire State building.  It was a hazy day but, still an amazing view as always.


The unique thing about NYC is that you can go over and over again and always find something new!

Checking things out!

 Breea wanted to sit on the steps of the Met like the girls from a T.V. show.  I can't remember which one!

 Beautiful art, sculptures, pottery etc in this museum.


 These were hand carved totem poles.   The fine details on these were amazing!

 One of our favorite parts were the men and horses in armor.  We stood on the second floor to get the best view!

 Stopped at the Boathouse restaurant in Central Park thanks to Lynn's mom.   It was a great suggestion and a place I have never been!  We were super lucky to get a waterside table!

 We also did a boat ride around NYC for the first time.  I loved our boat driver and his knowledge.  I have never had the "outside" tour before!  Quite a different perspective!


 The Brooklyn Bridge

The Statue of Liberty from our boat.  It had a beautiful night glow at dusk.



We have never been to NYC without a quick stop at American girl!


And you can't be in NYC without a ride on the Toys R Us ferris wheel.  We did so much more in the few days we were there but, I thought this was a long enough post!

Good Bye First Grade...

I caught a a little picture with a little sassiness in it on the last day of school!

We couldn't be more ready for second grade!
