Back From New York & EXHAUSTED

Hi all. I arrived home from New York today. Our plane was ahead of schedule so we touched down around 3:00 at the Minneapolis airport. The trip was simply wonderful and I really can't wait to write more about it but tonight I am exhausted beyond exhausted. A combination of the early mornings, late nights, unbelievable amounts of walking and a lot of fun have made me a very tired girl. Not to mention the Ginger Mojitos at Ruby Foos last night!! LOL.

I can't wait to also share some of the wonderful photos I captured - from the stunning -- views from "Top of the Rock" (Rockefeller Center) at night time, to the emotional -- Ground Zero and the Fire Fighter's Memorial, to funny -- the 70 or so year-old pan handler dressed in a spider man costume (don't worry it appeared the costume was helping him do quite well). Although it did make me think "what is this world coming to when even pan handlers have gimmicks?"

A special thanks to mom and dad for this most wonderful gift whose memories I will cherish and to my amazing hubby for taking care of the kids all weekend and while doing this repairing and seal coating the ENTIRE driveway, cleaning and organizing the entire house, doing the laundry and yes, last but not least (I did notice honey), cleaning out and reorganizing the hallway linen closet. You are the most wonderful husband a girl could want and I love you tons!

Until I get a chance to write the days in a bit more detail -- this girl's head has to go and hit the pillow.
