My oldest daughter had been wanting to visit the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. since she was in the 3rd grade. I didn’t really think she would appreciate traveling, until last year. So for her surprise gift at her Quinceanera, I booked us a trip to finally go visit! My parents came along and I’m so glad Luci and I got to experience it with them.
Waking up to this view was seriously the best thing ever! Saturday we did most of the sight seeing. We visited the Top of the Rock at the Rockefeller Center. Being at the top and overlooking the whole city makes you feel like a tiny little creature in a huge world. We ventured out to see the Brooklyn Bridge in the evening and the view of the skyline is impeccable! We then made our way to see the 9/11 memorial. It was so surreal and heartbreaking. One lady’s name that is etched in the edging of the memorial pool stood out to me.. Sylvia Pio Resta and her unborn child. May she and her baby rest in peace.
New York!!! This wasn’t my first trip to the big apple, but I’ve been so excited to finally go back. One of my dreams has always been to go to New York during Christmastime. And I’ve always wanted to take a run in Central Park. And now I’ve gotten to do both. I was hoping to catch some snow, but that didn’t happen. But there will be other times I visit so that’s ok.
First thing’s first, on any trip, mimosas!

ACL was a total blast! It came and went in a flash! My daughter and I drove down on Friday and got there in time to see Flosstradamus, a bit of Disclosure and ended our night with Foo Fighters. Here’s a little snippet of Flosstradamus:CONTINUE READING
