I am so excited to post about our trip to NYC. It is going to take me a while because I took over 700 pictures, but for now I am going to list what we did, and I will come back later and show you pictures. Just for reference this was a Taylor only trip, Ms. Emma Grace got to stay with her Nene and Poppy back in Arkansas. Which I think was for the best since she will likely not remember the trip anyways. The purpose of this trip was to go and visit my sister Emily, who is up there finishing up her last semester of at NYU. We also though it would be a great time to experience all of the holiday festivities that the city has to offer. In attendance were: G-Daddy, Mary, Jonathan, Lucy, Ryan, Taylor, and myself. Manna could not make it because she was with her father (my grandfather “Bill Bill”) who had just had surgery in Alabama.

You got to eat at Hell's Kitchen? Awesome!! Sounds like a rad trip...so glad you got to go!
It was good to see you at the airport. We didn't see you in NYC. I wonder why not? We were at the Metropolitan Museum on Friday. Matthew thought we might see you there! Glad you had a good time. I did too.
