Post-Vacation Post

New York was a BLAST! I don't know what else to say, it was just amazing. We did SO much in our short time there and had a lot of fun. The thing I usually don't like when traveling is that feeling of being a blatant tourist. But in New York, the though never even crossed my mind. We saw all the sights; Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Ground Zero, Wall Street, Central Park, Broadway, Times Square, 5th Ave., Yankee Stadium, The Brooklyn Bridge.... Everything! We even learned that there are 175 Starbucks in Manhattan alone! Everything was fabulous and it was even better to be there with Bryce's parents and brother. We love them so much and they are a lot of fun to travel with! Upstate New York was amazing as well. We saw so many of the early Church history sights, it was amazing. The Second Wedding reception was great too. Even though we didn't know any of the NY people it was still a good time. We are still just pooped from the long journey and already back in school!!! Time sure flies when you're having fun. I do have to mention that Bryce and I probably ate more in the last 10 day than we have in our entire lives so now we're launching our own biggest loser seeing as competition is the biggest motivator for both of us. Anyway, I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story...

It looks like you had a wonderful time, I'm so glad (and a bit jealous:) The Witmer Farm is just about the coolest place I've ever heard of to have a reception, what a fun experience.Good luck getting back into the swing of school!

We are just so thrilled you guys are bloggers, and consistent ones at that. Oh how this just changed my whole summer. How exciting. Now that you guys are bloggers I will have to do more softball posts this fall. I hope you are practicing and maybe recruiting this off season. Have a great summer. -Ev
