Catching up...

Last weekend we took a drive to upstate New York to a big outlet mall. The mall wasn't so impressive...the outlet "mecca" at San Antonio/San Marcos is still the ones to beat...so we drove
on over to Westpoint, NY to see the US Army Academy we've all heard about.
Very tiny little town and the Academy is off limits now thanks to our terrorist, but you can still
see it.
After that we drove in to the City for dinner and a play. We saw "The Little Mermaid" and were not disappointed. Disney just knows how do do musicals like no one else. It was great! We got home at 3 AM!
So many great restaurants have wonderful bargains now. The Ruth Chris Steakhouse has a 39.99 per person....three course dinner! It is wonderful and well worth the price in NYC where you generally can't even get a burger for much less!


Waiting for "The Little Mermaid" to begin...

Driving in Manhatten...

The beautiful George Washington Bridge

Getting gas in New Jersey...you can NOT pump your own...they actually pump your gas and WASH YOUR WINDOWS! So weird to me...

Me and the mule at Westpoint!

My Beautiful New Daughter-in-Law









Now I have two! This is just a proof, but I had to share it.
All her bridal portrait pics were made in the State Capitol Building in Little Rock, AR

I love that building...so beautiful.

Finally...a new post!

I've been really busy the last couple of months with Michael and Sarah's wedding. Also, I've been at HeltonTexas since January 4 until just last week...so I'm more than a little behind!

I'm still unpacking...the 3 boxes of "stuff" that I had to ship back to PA just arrived today..so more unpacking.
It's still chilly up here, but not as cold as I expected it to be. My cute new flip flops that I bought in Texas and wore often there ..will not be needed for several weeks up here. Wayyy too cool for that!

Michael and Sarah made it back safely from Hawaii with several wonderful stories and tons of pictures..that I have not seen.
So to say all that.....here are some of my favorite pictures from my last few weeks...enjoy!
