Botanical Gardens

My Aunt Nancy & Aunt Judy came out to visit us in March. My Dad & Donna & Riley came as well for a big family visit. We went to the Desert Botanical Gardens & a Cubs Spring Training Game. My cousins Jon & Jeff drove over from LA too.

New York City

We went to NYC last week to visit Bret & Emily. They live in Brooklyn which is close to the City. We went to Central Park a few times and walked a lot around 5th Ave where Emily works. We took a horse carriage ride around Central Park and played in one of the kid parks there. There is a grand carousel in Central Park and Emily took her on it. She loved it so much that when Emily had to leave for work I took Addie back on it. It was big and very fast! Addie loved Central Park & the subway! She got very excited every time we went down to the subway and always wanted to hold on to the pole like a big girl. Even if she was buckled in her stroller, she would fuss until we moved her close enough to grab the pool. We took Addie to F.A.O. Schwartz and the Disney Store. We braved shopping on Canal Street in China Town and enjoyed a quick trip on the Staten Island Ferry. The weather rained a bit on us, but was mostly beautiful, as evidenced by Brian's t-shirt most days. Addie did amazing in the big city and we had a wonderful time! Thank you Bret & Emily! We will be back!
