Here's a little montage of the pictures we took on our trip to New York City. Most of the pics are self explanatory. Some are not, so I thought I'd provide a little bit of insight: You'll see pictures of the place where we stayed, The Hephzibah House. We also captured some Dinos for the Goodyear kids (both at FAO Schwarz and the Museum of Science and History). There's one picture of a crowd gathered outside the Broadway show, Equus, starring Daniel Radcliffe (aka Harry Potter). We stood out there and waited to catch a glimpse of him, but he was so stinkin' short that we couldn't see him! There's a picture of a subway rat that's hard to make out...it's the one of the ground with the trash. Yay! You'll also see quite a few pics of the World Trade Center site. Someone went a little bananas trying to capture the construction of the new Freedom Towers. Enjoy! We sure had a fun time. We've already sat down and made a list of all the things we want to do next time we visit!

The Big Apple...AMAZING!!!
We just returned from what was one of the best trips EVER! We had the pleasure of attending my sweet friend, Leighanne's, wedding in New York City. We left last Friday morning and returned late Monday night. It was a wonderful time FULL of fun and excitement! I'm working on a little montage of photos, but I thought I'd go ahead and post a few of the trip highlights now...
On Friday evening, we went to see The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. It was fabulous!!
On Sunday, we got to meet Courtney, Jonathan and Emi for brunch at Sarabeth's...again...fabulous!!
And then there was the main event...the beautiful wedding and super fun reception for Adam and Leighanne.
On Monday, we rode the Staten Island Ferry around the Statue of Liberty.
This trip was so much fun and we're so happy that we got to go!!!

What a trip!!
We just returned from a FABULOUS trip back to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. We went there last year on our honeymoon, and decided to return for our 1st anniversary! We stayed at the Iberostar Quetzal, which is a great all-inclusive resort. Our trip was so relaxing and fun...making it very difficult to return to the real world! Hope you enjoy this little montage that I put together of our trip photos!

Buenas Noticias...or, Good News!!!
I have two pieces of good news to share! First off, we FINALLY got our car back from the body shop. It was only there for a month!! We actually managed the One Car Mambo just fine. If nothing else, the experience has helped us to really appreciate having two cars. What's funny, though, is that we're now thinking about continuing to carpool to work. It turned out to be pretty fun to have that time together in the morning and coming home too...also it will help us save on gas! I have to say that I was VERY timid about getting the car back. I think that wreck must have really traumatized me because I have been so scared about even sitting in that car again. When we went to pick it up from the shop, I felt sort of sick to my stomach. But, Doug encouraged me to "get back on the horse"...so I did and it was fine. Of course, driving on Loop 12 in rush hour was not exactly the first ride "back on the horse" that I was hoping for! But, I survived and felt much better after driving it more today.
The second piece of good news has to do with these lovely scenes that you are looking at on this post! These are pictures of Playa del Carmen, Mexico, the place where we were honeymooners AND where we will be celebrating our first wedding anniversary! We'll be staying here...
This is the Iberostar Quetzal, a resort in Playa which will be the setting for several days of relaxing fun!! We finalized our plans yesterday and CANNOT WAIT to go!! We have been working with a travel agent, and we are so happy that she was able to find us a good deal! We're looking so forward to this trip, and to celebrating ONE YEAR OF MARRIAGE! I cannot even believe it's almost been a year since we said, "I Do". I guess it's true that time flies when you're having fun...
