Bonding at Kemah

Yesterday I had the opportunity to go to Kemah with my mom, two friends from high school, and their moms.














Here we are outside the Saltgrass Jail.














We ate lunch at a seafood restaurant called The Flying Dutchman. I must say, as we've grown older our conversations are not the same as they were eight years ago. I have not laughed that hard in a long time.














Too cute for words...


Well, I must say that I am definitely enjoying my unemployed days. My niece will be coming to visit all by herself (she's only four!) for a week starting this Saturday. I am looking forward to entertaining her!

I have also had the pleasure of waking up each morning at 6:15 to pack Chris' lunch for him. It's amazing how delighted he gets each morning when he discovers he does not have to make his lunch!

New York Trip

Our trip to New York was so much fun. We walked more in those three days than I think I have walked in my entire life!

Here are some of the pictures from our trip:

This is the view of Ground Zero. It is completely blocked off so the picture are from behind a large fence and windows.














Chris and I in front of Macy's. Did you know there are NINE floors? A few of them have wooden escalators!



















Chris, his brother (Matt), and I at ESPNZone eating lunch.





























Chris and Matt posing with a statue built entirely out of LEGOS! Me with a GIGANTIC bear! We spent quite a while at FAO Schwartz playing with all their toys...














Chris eating a famous New York hot dog. I thought he had enough of those in Trulife, but I guess I was wrong...



















Here we are standing on the Brooklyn Bridge. We walked across it our last night there.














On our last day in New York, we met up with Johanna and her boyfriend, Drew, who were driving back to Texas from Boston!














We had such an amazing time in New York spending time with Matt and seeing Johanna and Drew. Among some of the other things that we did during our short stay there, we saw the Blue Man Group, Chicago (the broadway play), went on a three hour boat cruise, and ate pizza at least once a day!
