Hello, Nashville! For Mason’s birthday, we got tickets to for David Blaine on tour at Ryman Auditorium. The show started at 8 but we drove down early so we could kick around town and have a nice dinner. We explored another video game arcade. Similar to the one we visited in Chicago, they also had a […]
Today Mason and I took Martin, Carter and Colin to the Royal Suite theater to see Spider-Man: Homecoming. It was Mason’s choice to invite friends to have a meal, stretch out and be waited on while watching a movie as his birthday celebration. When the show was over, the boys all came back to the […]
We made a last minute decision to head to St. Louis for a Sunday afternoon baseball game. Guests over 16 got complimentary hats which we desperately needed on this afternoon. Our seats were in a prime location but in the direct sun. It was so hot that Mason and I almost burned our legs when […]
As I mentioned in an earlier post, half of our family went to San Francisco after camp. While Mason and I were exploring New York, Bill and Walker were in San Francisco. They enjoyed a good night sleep at their hotel and were up and running early on Sunday morning. They started with 7 AM […]
When we arrived back home, a box awaited Mason. This was not just any box. It was the elusive new gaming system, The Switch. It’s a long story but Mason has been saving and saving for this coveted device. It slipped through our fingers a few times when it was in stock at two local […]
In my head I can still hear Frank singing New York, New York after our hearing it at the end of our Yankee game on the 4th of July. It’s a pleasant way to start our last day in the city. Leaving on a 5:30 PM flight meant we had some more time to explore […]
Bill boasted that there was a better deli than Mason and I should investigate and he was not kidding. It was called Essen and it was unbelievable. These few pictures only feature a small part of what they offered. They had at least four full hot buffets and as many cold bars with a […]
Today we had tickets for the Yankee game at 1 pm so we left Westbrook on the early side. We took advantage of the fact that we had a little leeway with time to see if we could find two of the places Bill lived in Greenwich when he was a kid. Finding the first […]
When Kim, Mason and I got up, we went out to find breakfast somewhere new. We walked out toward Bryant Park and picked up vittles at Pret A Manger and Whole Foods. We took our findings and ate in the park. This apple was part of my breakfast. I had forgotten how fresh fruit was […]
Sunday morning we started our day with complimentary Starbucks from the hotel and a quick bagel from the deli next door to our hotel. Incidentally, we stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott on 40th and Fifth Avenue. It was in a perfect location for the adventures we had planned this trip. The New York […]
