Mommy's Birthday Present Vacation

After a whirlwind trip up to Jersey City to visit with Emily, Chris and Baby Mia, I am home and back into the normal routine!

The four days with my family was amazing! We not only spent lots of time with the new little princess, but we also explored our surroundings and walked, and walked, and walked.....and walked!!

Scenes from our trip include....

....the view of lower Manhattan around the corner from our hotel....


....Times Square....


.... a fabulous early Father's Day dinner at Carmines (Opa's favorite place in NYC) with just Chris, myself and Opa....


....followed by dessert in the West Village from the famous Magnolia Bakery....


....a stroll through Jersey City and Van Vorst park....






....the Path train....


....Ground Zero....





....the gorgeous walk over the Brooklyn Bridge (both ways)....




....a fabulous pizza lunch at Grimaldis after a 45 minute wait in line....



....and some pretty funny signs spotted along our travels....



And of course, the most important scene of all:
