And the award goes to.....

ME! For being the worst blogger in the world!!! Ha ha! I've been really behind lately so now, after being home for two weeks, I'll tell you about our trip to New York. Kirk and I have been to NYC a couple times before but this time we went with our good friends Crystal and TJ. We met them at the airport in Hartford where Kirk's mom picked us up. We spent the night at their house and then headed up via train the next day to the city. We spent 4 awesome nights in the city. Of course to save money, we all shared a hotel room we found right in the heart of China Town. Even though the surroundings were interesting to say the least, the hotel was nice.

We did alot of walking! We ended up getting a city pass which included several of the most popular tourist sites, all of which, Kirk and I hadn't seen yet. Some of the things we did were museums, time square, island boat tour, central park, china town, little Italy, Rockafeller Center, Empire State Building and traveling the subway. I can't really say why I love the subway, but I do! Kirk's parents met us on Saturday, our last day in the city to go see Mary Poppins. It was so cool, even though I'd seen it already.

Back in Connecticut, Kirk and I spent some one on one time with his parents. We shopped, went to our favorite little diner and Kirk even found a new brand of root beer he hadn't tried. We love going back east, not only to visit the sights, but to spend time with his family. I hope you'll enjoy our pictures and if you have any questions of what they are, just ask. (I'm too lazy to tag them all, lol!)

Hi, this is Jessica, John Hopewell's little sis. Anyways, found your blog on his and had to say that I laughed so hard when I saw the rootbeer comment! all these years and they are still out to find the best rootbeer! (atleast it's better than the ones they used to make in our kitchen!) anyways, just thought I'd say HI!
