It has been awhile since a new post so I thought I would jump in and contribute. We have been having a lovely fall here in Lincoln and have even managed a nice vacation recently. Back in September, we visited NYC for the first time. Paul and I had never been and his mother, who loves to travel, came along with us on a great trip. We feel like we saw a lot of sites in just a few days and even caught a Broadway show. Fortunately, we were ahead of the hurricane, what devastation! We are so grateful that Cassi is ok and many were able to evacuate before the storm. Here's a few pics from our trip:
This sculpture was right across the street from our hotel in midtown Manhattan.
Biking thru Central Park...
The Empire State Building
Cassi and Michael, who patiently answered all our questions about life in NYC!
The World Trade Center Memorial site--museum to open in Sept 2013.
Our only mis-adventure this fall was Paul's bike accident. He actually ran into a car that had stopped suddenly and he required some plastic surgery to get his face back in place. His co-workers were razzing him that it was a lot of drama for a little eye-lift:) This is when we're fortunate for health-insurance and bike helmets! He is doing great now with just a few minor scars to show for it.
For Halloween, we dressed Lily up as a hot dog again this year. She doesn't seem to mind and the trick-or-treaters love it! Almost every kid that comes to the door comments on her costume, it is pretty fun!
More recently, we went out to a tree farm just south of Lincoln and chose a tree for our living room. I love Christmas time and decorating, so we decked the halls as soon as we got the tree home. It is looking great in our large picture window. Happy Holidays and hope to see you all soon!
