What a whirlwind trip - including a missed connection and a fleabag Paris hotel on the way over - to NJ/NY/FL to visit family and friends and my attempt at a vacation! Amid the running and traveling around a lot, we managed to get in a visit to the MET and the Museum of Natural History, we visited Pop Sam and Mariel in Florida (eeek humidity), we celebrated Emily and Andrew's 5th birthday, we got to be there for opening weekend of the 9th annual NaCl Festival and we spent a lovely weekend in Manhattan where we even got in some batting cages and a bit of bowling!
Here are a couple pictures from the trip...
