New York

Almost two weeks ago, Haley and I traveled to New York City to see one of my good college friends, Sister John Paul Marie, make her Vows for the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal! It was an amazing trip!!

Haley is ready to board early in the morning! Haley, Gina and I all flew together since Gina was meeting her own friends that same weekend. We spent the first day touring together, and then split off!

All of our friends didn't arrive until the next evening, so we had a day to take in the sights!

Haley is ready to go!! She was a great traveler! We had a few meltdowns due to lack of sleep, but overall, she did great!!

Real Italian Pizza! Our hotel was on the border of Little Italy and they were having a huge festival for the Feast of San Genaro. It made for some great entertainment to he first few nights!

On the very first night we arrived, we ate at this same restaurant underneath a tent on the street. We ended up being caught in a HUGE thunderstorm (or "flunderstorm" as Haley calls them) stuck under this tent. It was large enough to even shake up the locals and make national new for its destruction. Anyways, we finally ran into a restaurant with Haley screaming in my arms! It was quite a show!

Gelato with Michelle! Mmmmm!

Taking the subway with Michelle, Allison, and Molly to the South Bronx for the Vows

Sister John Paul Marie!!

Best Friends!!!

The kids loved Sister John Paul Marie!

All of Sister's Family, The Spinharneys!

Haley and Molly were best buds!!

The next day we saw a fire department on our walk back to the hotel from breakfast! Haley was in tears because she couldn't have one of their jackets! Random...I know!
