new york, new york

we just got home yesterday after waking up at about 3:30am eastern time to catch a cross country flight that had connections in two different cities only to turn right back around and take my mom to the airport to catch her flight back to los angeles. by the time my kids went to bed, i was exhausted.

but after almost 12 hours of sleep, i feel more myself. i dumped all my pictures onto my computer this morning...i had a lot...703 to be exact...and after going through them all, here are some of my favorite. 

most pictures are of little things that struck me as funny or beautiful or memorable or iconic. we had such a good time and did so many things that i think i will save my what is sure to be lengthy vacation log for another post...

we stood in line for almost an hour at the shake shack. the hamburgers were good, but the pumpkin pie shake with huge chunks of actual pumpkin pie made the wait so worth it...

Looks like so much fun...if you have been looking at your site meter, wondering why I have been here so much, for some reason your pictures are not coming up on my computer so I keep coming back to see if it is working...conf. pix never came up but your vacation looked great!! Not stalking, Just love to see your art.
