New York 2011

Mom and Dad and us took a family vacation to New York for Poppy's 90Th birthday, Nanny & Poppy's 65Th wedding anniversary, and Thanksgiving. It was a total surprise to Poppy. He was so happy his family could make it! We threw him a surprise party and had all his close family there. He was so happy and cheerful and felt so loved. "King Arthur" became his new name for the rest of the trip.Justin and I took a day with Alex and Sieauna and drove to Boston. The kids loved walking the Freedom Trail and were really interested in all the stories of the history of our Nation. I loved the aquarium and the food! We ended the vacation with Thanksgiving at Nanny & Poppy's house. We all contributed one dish. Sieauna did carrots that turned out amazing! Aunt Ann and Aunt Diane and her family came over and it was so great to be able to spend the holiday with family that we don't get to see often. I am so happy that my kids have gotten to know, and spend time with, their great-grandparents.
