New York Trip

We had the opportunity to go to NY for a week. 

Eric's boss lives there and invited us out. 

This brought up the perfect opportunity to visit the Gardners in Connecticut too.

I had been so excited to go but had been stressing for months whether or not to take Ksyon.

I knew it would be hard traveling that far and that long with him but at the same time, we take him everywhere we go and since he's still not sleeping through the night, I think I would have worried about him and whoever he stayed with. 

So...after a lot of contemplation, we decided to take him. 

And I'm SO glad we did!!!

He was so good and so much fun to have with us.

Besides being in the city which is NOT kid/stroller friendly.

I think it was just bad being our first time there with a little one.

We'll make better choices next time.

We flew out Saturday morning at 8:30.

Stayed in Manhattan Saturday night.

We visited Ground Zero, ate good food, walked around the Rockefeller Plaza, enjoyed FAO Schwarz toy store, and walked through Central Park.

I'd have to say, Central Park was my favorite and Ground Zero was Incredible!!

Sunday afternoon we picked the Freemans up at the airport, rented a car and headed to Montauk.

Montauk is at the very tip of Long Island. They call it "The End"

Gary (Eric's boss) rented a house for all of us.

The next three days were spent relaxing, shopping, site seeing, playing at the beach and eating lots of good food.

The guys spent the three days fishing on the ocean. They caught some good sized fish along with some sharks!! 

We had such a good time and the weather was absolutely perfect. 

The Freemans flew home Thursday.

We took a ferry over to Connecticut. Another fun experience.

It was nice for Kyson to be able to run around instead of having to sit in a car seat the whole time.

We had dinner in New Haven with the Gardners Thursday night and walked around the Yale campus.

Friday we got up and walked a trail in Branford then took the kids to Pumpkintown.

What a neat place!!

Connecticut is Beautiful in the Fall!!!

Saturday we went on a hike, drove to East Rock, had lunch at Shake Shack then headed to the airport.

We are so grateful for this opportunity and had such an Amazing time with Great people!!!
