NYC Trip





Sights and Sounds of the City





NYC 2010 Labor Day Weekend






Hey y'all! We went on a family vacation...our 1st family vacation. We went to New York City for the long Labor day weekend (my dad and I didn't even have to miss school or work). It was unbelievable! I went in an airplane, a taxi cab and a subway train. We went all over the city. I was exhausted. FAO Schwarz, Central park and the Central park zoo, the museum of natural history, Toys R Us, a mac and cheese restaurant, had the best cheesecake in the city and the list goes on and on. We really packed it in! I was a great traveler on the plane and our hotel was awesome. Very modern and right in the heart of Times Square. I got to sleep in bed with my parents which was fun...it was a huge king size bed. They picked our room because of the bunk bed that it had over the king bed, but I wanted to snuggle with them instead! :) I have soo many pictures to show you. I hope that you enjoy! CMF

P.S. School is going very well. I am learning many Russian words and now participating in gymnastics (it took me a couple weeks to get into that). I am tracing letters in sand and making all of the letter sounds. I am counting to 20 and know how to spell my name. I have been coming home with letters that I can now write. Montessori is awesome and amazing!

Jack Johnson @ Walnut Creek Raleigh NC Aug. 21 2010






We had a blast. We drove(thanks Linds and Matt for lending us your car) up to Raleigh, NC and stayed at a nice hotel right in the middle of downtown Raleigh. There was a car show going on right outside of the hotel...added bonus. There was a monster truck that was SO big I could stand underneath it! Also we found a great gastropub to eat dinner before the show. We had awesome seats for the show...plenty of dancing room. G Love opened for Jack Johnson and he was really good too. I was great on the drive to NC(read books, watched a movie and had lots of snacks), at the hotel and at the show. I love the hotel room. My parents forgot that I have not been in a hotel since I was a baby...it was all new and WONDERFUL to me. My dad and I shared a bed and my mom got her own because she had been sick the whole week before and we didn't want her germs! I stayed up realllly late, but we all slept in the next morning and then headed back to Charleston. Tons of pics to post from the trip. Enjoy! I hope to go to another concert very soon!
P.S. Jack even played the Curious George song for me! ;)
