{FROM NY to QUEBEC}

And so the Cruise began. It was ten whole days and we really did have a fun time relaxing, and spending time with each other and his parents, which we don’t get to do very often. But believe me, I did have my crazy mom moments. One night I even cried! Who knew you could miss a little person so much. However I am pretty sure she didn’t miss me much, if at all. Every time I called, my family reassured me just how happy and unaffected she was by my absence. This didn’t really surprise me. Anyway, we really did have a great time and were so grateful for the time we got to spend together. We will be sure to do it again soon. But next time, I think we will keep it at a week. I don’t think I can take another two week trip again.

New England Highlights:

- My all time favorite was Quebec. I was more than intimidated by all the people speaking French, but it gave me the opportunity to use the little that I know. Oh and everything was so beautiful. I felt like I was in Europe.

- We loved seeing all the little Cape Cod style towns

- We went to Prince Edward Island where we experienced the #1 ice cream in the WORLD. I’m serious. It is ranked #1.

- We got to tour the infamous Breakers Mansion that the Vanderbilt’s owned.

- We enjoyed the delicious Pop Overs at the Jordan Pond Restaurant, in Bar Harbor, Maine.

- Went to the Bay of Fundy to witness their 40 ft tides. Brian and Ruth were VERY entertained.

- I got my first massage in a VERY long time.

New York, New York!

{ When he started singing to us, Brian made us leave. Haha}

{ The Boat House. We would have eaten there but there was some dumb union being paid to stand out side and protest/harass anyone who was going near it. So I just used the restroom}

{Central park is just so beautiful}

{One of the very first things we saw in NY. Made my heart go pitter patter}

Our first stop on our two week “vacation” was New York. I say “vacation” because it was somewhat torture for me, being away from Claire for 15 whole days. However I really did enjoy those three days in New York.

Things we did/saw:

- Reveled in the beauty that is Central Park (my favorite part).

- Brian rowed us around the pond at central park. How romantic!

- Got a glimpse of/used the restroom at the Boat House. It was just lovely.

- Saw Owen Wilson and Chris Rock

- Hit up Magnolia Bakery for some cupcakes and chocolate milk

- Went to the infamous Shake Shack. My favorite was their toffee concrete.

- Went to time square and saw the naked cowboy. He creped Brian out.

- Did some shopping. Saw the most amazing anthro ever!

- Went to see Wicked. It was Brian’s first time, and he loved it. Not surprised.

- blah, blah, blah, blah…

- and much more.

All in all we had a great time. However I wish we had more time to take it all in. We will be sure to go back again. Hopefully some day soon.
