Em’s first NYC visit was a success! Covid is a REAL thing (which will surprise no one), but I was so thoroughly impressed with my old home city for how things are being handled. Almost everyone was wearing masks, there were free Covid testing centers everywhere we went (that were in FULL use), and we avoided indoor areas (except for a brief Chris Connor tour of Grand Center), so we felt as safe as one can these days 🤷♀️ We so love showing our girls around this city that means so much to us ❤️ You’re a good one, NYC, and we sure do love you lots 😘
There are times as a parent that you realize certain parts of your life are over … at least for a little while. For us, that night was tonight 😂 Don’t let these pictures fool you - this night definitely ended in many, many tears and tantrums. As it turns out, 30 degree weather, 5 o’clock tickets to a holiday light show and two kids who have eaten nothing but sugar and slept odd hours over the past couple of days does NOT MAKE FOR A GOOD TIME. Chris and I decided on the ride home - with two screaming kids (and one birthday baby who was very well behaved) - that we might be skipping the nighttime activities for the foreseeable future, and especially during the winter. 🤷♀️ We had a good run, activities that start past 5 … hope to see ya in a few years 👋
