Good to be back in Iowa!






I am so glad to be back home, in my house, my bed!! We went to Brooklyn, New York on a much needed vacation last week, first stop, Aaron and Becca's house in Pittsburgh PA. I must say, it was GREAT to see them again and to meet their baby boy was the best. He is so cute!! Aaron cooked us dinner (something that we never had before but enjoyed, very tasty) We fell in love with their home, much bigger than the one in Iowa City. They where great hosts. I miss them and as far as we know, whenever we go to NY, we will stop in at their place. After the Muellers house our next stop was Wilkes Barre PA for a day and that was good too.....next stop, Brooklyn, NY and what a great time we had!! As the saying goes, "I LOVE NEW YORK" man how I miss my home town of Brooklyn...I lived there all my life and I had NEVER walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and that was one of the first things we did, I made sure of that!, took in Central Park, Times Squares and all that Manhattan had to offer. Wall Street was CRAZY with all that is going on now in the Stock Market.

I would love to hit the lottery so that I can buy me a nice apartment in Brooklyn just to spend the summers there. What a great time....can't wait till next year to do it all over again! We find that going in the spring or the fall is the BEST time to be there, not to hot nor to cold, just perfect for us. Well, just wanted to up date you all on our vacation for 2008.
