Our family's New York trip was amazing for me. I had planned the whole trip so that my parents could join us also. My mom is from New York and hadn't been back to see her family in a long time. I felt it was important for her to do this because everyone is getting older. Catching up with my cousins, aunts, and uncles that I haven't seen in years and enjoying family time was what made the trip. I loved Leah getting our room ready for a "party" each evening before dinner and walking the streets and seeing the sights with Ben, Leah, Dave, my mom and dad. I loved being in Carnegie Hall watching Nick sing. The moment that will always be engrained in my memory was standing in Times Square at night with my mom, holding hands, bearing the cold and just watching the lights. The only thing that could've made it better is if I saw Nick more than on stage at Carnegie Hall. Family time is so important to me and we are so busy at home. I love vacations because I get to be with my kids and we are all so relaxed. Looking forward to another awesome getaway with my wonderful family!

New York was a fun trip. My favorite part was on Long Island with all of my cousins. We were going to go to a restaurant for Johanna's birthday, but the wait was too long. Instead, we picked up awesome Italian food on the way back to their house and ate dinner there. We made one really long dining room table and put white table cloths and candles everywhere on it. Everyone was talking and laughing at the same time. That was a special night.

I thought the trip was great! I have to admit when Ben's mom told me about the trip and we figured out how expensive it was to fly, I was a little stressed. However, once we got there and saw family and the New York City sights, it was all worth it. My favorite part outside of family was the NewYork style pizza. It was awesome and you can't get pizza like that anywhere here in Louisville!

I thought the trip was cool. My favorite part of the trip was being able to walk around New York with my buds. It was expensive. Singing in Carnegie Hall was dope. I saw a broaday show called American Idiot. That was the best show ever. Besides having food poisoning, New York was great. I hope to go back sometime soon.
