concrete jungle where dreams are made of...

City never sleeps, better slip you an Ambien!  We just got back from a quick trip to NYC to visit Matt's brother and his wife, who are in grad school up at NYU.

We would have been in big trouble with Uncle Michael and Aunt Brittany if we hadn't brought Henry, so we braved the city that never sleeps with a 15 month old- and lived to tell about it.

We are terrible picture takers.  We probably have five pictures to show for the whole trip, and as per usual, they are all of Henry.  Here are two of them.  This is in Brooklyn and the background is downtown NYC/Manhattan.

We also got to visit w/ our friends, The Gentrys, who are braving the Big Apple EVERY SINGLE DAY with three children! It was so fun to see how they do life in NYC w/ three.  I was amazed.

The trip was super laid back.  We have done the touristy stuff before, so we just got to hang out and watch how locals live.  My legs are STILL sore from walking so much. How sad is that?  I saw on "The Doctor's" the other day that New Yorkers walk an average of five miles a day.  Translation= we'd all be better off physically if we moved to New York.  However, and this is probably TMI, my boogers (yes, the things inside my nose) always turn black when I go to NYC.  So perhaps the air pollution and dirt offsets the extra five miles a day.  But probably not.  Our expensive jogging stroller ALMOST got lost forever on the flight to La Guardia, but thank goodness, it showed up the day before we had to leave to come back to Austin.  Close call.

That is all.
