Hanging with Cousin Madelyn at the new city pool in Manhattan -- FUN!

 Mid-Flip

Once Aubrey got up the courage to try the diving board, that wasn't scary enough

so she went ahead and did a couple of flips off.

 

 Hang on!

 Wheee!

And what better way to end a summer outing than with Tropical Sno?

Planes, Trains and Automobiles.....Stretch Limo Included!

These are some highlights from the New York leg of our vacation.  I'm sure there will be more once we get photos from Aubrey's camera uploaded.  Our vacation really did involved about every kind of transportation.  We flew into New York, took a limo to our hotel in Times Square, rode the Amtrak train to DC, then a taxi to our hotel there.  We also rode the Metro (subway) one day to go to the Arlington Cemetery and then another plane flew us home.  Oh, and did we ever WALK!

There's No Place Like Home

After two days in NYC and four in DC, we are convinced there truly is "no place like home". We will be boring all of you with stories and photos from our trip for months. And be looking for our Top 10 Vacation Highlights that we are already compiling. We are flying home tomorrow afternoon.
