New York, NY!

We’re in New York! I didn’t blog yesterday, so this is a catch-up picture post. Yesterday Abe said good-bye to us as the girls and I took our flight to New York. Abe is going to Puerto Rico for a wedding, but he will join us on Sunday in New York.

The girls were PERFECT on the plane. I almost wish going by myself were harder so I could feel more authentically heroic...but luckily, the girls spared me the necessity of scrounging up some heroism.

Mary was awake most of the flight, but she fell asleep during the last hour of the flight.

When we arrived in New York, an airport worker gave me a free luggage cart because, he said, the girls were so cute and well-behaved. I was grateful, and, after their wonderful performance on the flight, was more than inclined to agree.

We had a wonderful reunion with Nana:

Tiaras and glittery headbands from Nana. They wanted to wear them all at once.

After dinner, we took a stroll to the park:

We had trouble getting going, so we watched Frozen in bed before doing anything.

Then we took a walk to The Cloisters with Mom.

The girls fell asleep on the way. (It was a forty-five minute walk).

We watched Frozen twice today, and now Lydia is begging to go to sleep. Love you, Grandma! Wish you were here!!
