We're Home!

We had a great time in Boston and NYC and definitely look forward to going back again some day. My feet still ache though, even mom noticed how PUFFY my feet and ankles are! Thanks to all the pals out there who were able to give us some tips and recommendations. We actually used a lot of them and were pleased with all we tried!

Yesterday was a fun day. We did the NBC studio tour and sat where they film Conan O'Brian and SNL, as well as a mock make-up room and news room. I got the be the volunteer and tried my hand as the weather woman. It's harder than it looks as everything is backwards! It was a good laugh though. We followed that up with a harbor cruise which was great and some awesome views of the Statue of Liberty. Since you still cannot go up her, this was a good enough view as we pulled in as close as can be. By the time we headed back to the hotel, it was about 5:30pm NYC time and the Aggies were winning 19-nothing at half time. By the time we actually got back and ready to go to dinner around 8pm, the Ags barely squeaked out a win in triple overtime. Hardly anything to get excited about, should have been a blow out. But I digress.......so we hopped in a cabbie for a wonderful Italian dinner at Nanni's! It was delish and Matt and I felt like we were in the know. There were only about 10 tables and the chef and owner would come out to check on you. Very authentic and very tasty! We ended our night by heading up to the top of the Empire State building which was beautiful and romantic! The lights of NYC are amazing. They seem to go on for miles and miles! What a sight!

So, all in all a fabulous time! We got a few cute outfits for the little one and a Steiff Giraffe stuffed animal to add to the nursery collection. Mom picked us up with Esther in tow and when we finally got home, it was good to have both the furkids with us!

I'll add some pics tomorrow or later tonight of the highlights! Hope you all had a great labor day weekend and the short week following!
