Connecticut Here We Come- Spring Break 2009


Why stay in warm, Sunny Houston when you can go to cold New York????
But the warmth of being with all the family was so much fun.
We arrived in New York last Saturday, March 14th. Trent picked up half the bunch and we rented a mini van and drove to Jamie and Trent's home. We had such a fun Sunday reuniting with all the cousins and families. Church was a real treat as Trent taught Sunday School and Jamie taught Relief Society that day.
Monday we drove to Palmyra, all but Jamie's family as they had school.
Highlights: Sacred Grove, Hill Cumorah, Grandin Press, Joseph Smith's home, Whitmire farm, Palmyra Temple
Tuesday We drove to Niagra Falls and then back to Palmyra, Shad's family went to Amy's sisters home for the night.
Wednesday we all ended up back at Jamie's.
Thursday- first big day in the City, Jamie kept the babies, Megan, Chloe and Adam.
We took Madelyn with us. Highlights: The Museum of Natural History, Times Square, Stanton Island Ferry and the Statue of Liberty.
Friday, Amber and Amy stayed at Jamie's for cousins to play. Craig, Shad, Dan, Tyler, Carrie and I ventured into the City again for another fun day of walking, shopping and seeing the sights.
Saturday: The whole gang went to the city, Highlights: Broadway Play, SHREK, it was great, Going up to Trent's floor at Ernst and Young and looking over the City , It is right there at Times Square. Seeing the Manhatten Temple,Central Park and Rockefellar Center.
My how times have changed, coordinating with 5 families was so much easier with a GPS in each car and every Adult had a cell phone. We could seperate and then call and connect again.
