NYC

This past weekend my entire family (minus kids) went to NYC for my dad's installation into the Order of the Malta.  We all had a blast and it was nice to get away - I know even Ben and Grandma had fun spending time together.  We did a ton while we were there and just to name a few things - MET, Statue of Liberty, food walking tour in Central Village, Ellis Island, Wall Street, Ground Zero, Times Square, Today Show Plaza (our hotel was a block away from it!), Phantom of the Opera and great restaurants!

Since Ben wasn't on the trip and this blog is really for him here are some pics.  There is a bit of a jealousy struggle in the household between the dog and Ben fighting to be near us.  So Brian had both on his lap at once to try and combat this debate, but let's just say it's still ongoing.  Hopefully Ben gets over it in the next few months before the baby arrives otherwise he's in for an even worse shock then us petting the dog!
