Our trip to NYC

My parents flew out to visit on Christmas day to stay with us for a week. On the 28th we decided to venture to NYC with them to see what Christmas would be like in New York and see Darren's brother Dalyn. It took us about 5 hours to drive there and we sublet an apartment from family of a friend of ours in Harlem. The apartment was really nice and we are grateful we got such a great deal to stay. We stryed until noon on the 31st and it gave us plenty of time to see most of the sights we wanted to see. The first night after we arrived we hopped on the subway and caught the Staten Island ferry just in time to see the Statue ofLiberty as the sun went down. It was gorgeous, the ferry ride was nice and the price couldn't be beat.
Afterwards, we caught the train and met Dalyn in China town to have dinner. Then we walked through little Italy and had Canoli for dessert. This is Isaac with a Canoli nose. It was a really nice night. I am glad I got to experience China town and if I ever go back would like to eat in Little Italy sometime.
Overall we had a great trip and were blessed not to lose Isaac in the subway (he was accidentally left at the station once, fortunately he was too busy watching the trains in a corner to notice or be noticed). We were healthy, safe, our car worked well and the weather was good. Thanks Mom and Dad for finally convincing us to make the trip!
