Merry Christmas

 Being off for a few days around the holidays I finally got some time to edit the videos from our 3 day hike in Minnesota.

Making this gets me already thinking about where to go next year. Trust me my list is already pretty long...

Christmas in NYC

Time for my annual December in New York for work meetings.  This year it worked out that the whole family came.  Used hotel points and airline miles. Only thing we paid for was food and entertainment!

We left early Tuesday and did a walking tour of Midtown and areas.

This included St Patrick's Cathedral, Macy's, Time Square and Grand Central Station just to name a few


Came back for some late night fun including a trip to the observation deck of the Empire State building.

Wednesday was spent at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Very interesting and educational sites. Plus a boat ride? Win-Win!

Thursday I had to work, so the family went to Museum of Modern Art and a few other walk around items. I met up with them later that night for some more city at night adventures.

Friday we headed back downtown to the 9/11 Memorial. This time we actually did the museum tour. It did not seem like was that big, but we spent over 4 hours there. Incredibly well done and incredibly sad.

We ended up getting home Saturday morning after dealing with the beginnings of a winter storm....Nice way to end the year.....
