Virginia, visiting Nenje Ildi & Aaron!

(end June '12)

We had a wonderful trip visiting Ildi and Aaron! They have a lovely home in a very pretty area. We went into D.C. one evening and visited the MLK Jr. Memorial and Lincoln Memorial. It only took us 25 mins from Ildi's house! It was very, very hot and humid out but we held up OK. (Gabi kept making note of the fact that her hair was 'wet' :-). I got to spend one afternoon with my good, old friend Jodi and all 5 of our kids. It was great catching up. And we also finally met Aaron's brother Josh and his wife, Maria. They had us over to their home and we spent a great evening together!! We look forward to our next trip!!

First dinner: fabulous!

Coney Island

We had SUCH a FABULOUS time at Coney Island today. The weather was perfect. We played in the sand and water a bit, walked the boardwalk, had lunch and then rode on some rides (I was so surprised at how brave they were. They didn't need an ounce of encouragement.). It only took us 30 mins to drive there AND we got rockstar parking. We'll definitely be doing this again soon!

First real train ride into the city

We loved riding the real train. We've only been on the subway till now. And we found a lot to do in Bryant park. There was a mini-library, a carousel, live birds on display... What a great morning!

Is the train here???

Waiting patiently

What was that, Mommy??!!

Om the way home..
