Dave's choice: We took a road trip north to West Point Academy to explore more of our new area. Kobe went along for the ride. He probably thought, "great, I get to ride in the back of the car, when I would rather be napping all day at home". :-) We stopped along the Hudson to tour visiting replicas of the Nina and Pinta boats. Dave and I had a great time, the kids not so much. They were mad that they had to wear uncomfortable life vests. Oh, the poor kids... Zach studied Christopher Columbus this year in 1st Grade, so he had lots to tell us while we were on the ship.
Happy Father's Day
Our main goal was to drive to West Point, NY to see what we could of the Academy. They had a museum, so it was perfect for Dave. The kids love dioramas, so that kept them entertained most of the time. It was a nice, relaxing Sunday and a nice way to start our last week of school. June 21 cannot get here fast enough!
I guess the Yankee's game can be considered a Father's Day gift too, right? Someone gave us great seats to Monday night's game of the Yankee's vs. The Atlanta Braves (oh, they knew:-) We got there early, knowing traffic in the Bronx, especially for the game would be bad. It's an eye opening experience to drive through the Bronx....
The kids were amazed at the entire stadium, seeing that the place is lit up from head to toe. We were all entertained....except for the tattoo lady in front of us with a pair of eyes on her back...freaky. The weather was perfect and we stayed for 3 innings before getting our kiddos home to bed.
Two days, two things to check off our list for NY. So much to do, so much to see.....
Lest we forget, our dear Olivia had a baby molar extracted today. It was abscessed, so it was the right thing to do. She was a trooper, but you hate to have it done. She's all smiles tonight, thank goodness. Hello, tooth fairy! You better bring her something good for this one!
