Hangin in New York with the girls!!!

It takes just a couple of the old college friends to get me out of my comfort zone
well lets just say that I rode the NY subway for the first time in my life. I have been going to NY for 20 years and never did I see the need to travel in this way so naturally the girls were there to hold my hand and photograph this historical event. What a blast we had!

We laughed.... we cried... we saw Jersey boys and Mary Poppins and Patti & I saw Grease too.

ANS was already in NY for the annual DM Days convention that was fun as always. The girls showed up after it was over. We ate at Butter.. see below



I am not sure that we should have been un-supervised in our NYC adventures. I am certain that next year we will have a chaperon!


We were a party of five so taking a taxi was troubling. So Pam would hide from the cab driver and then when we got in, she dove onto the floor of the cab so that the driver did not know we were 5 in the car. We laughed from stop to the next and could not contain ourselves....


From Pam on the floor to Jen in front with the non-showered transportation specialist we were humored non-stop!

Our Adult Playground--- Las Vegas

Mine and Jerry's favorite place to go when its couples time is Viva Las Vegas! Our pace to eat, drink and be merry. This time flown compliments of Patey Air. The most luxurious way to travel. We had a great trip and went to shows "Jersey Boys" and "Phantom of the Opera" Even though Jerry, Mike and I all fell alseap during Phantom. Chandra managed to stay up for the whole show. I really tried but when you have a big meal.... See next picture of the lobster I attempted to consume how was it avoidable? A quick nap and I was ready to rock n roll at the poker tables.


We got a special treat this time and experience a cabana at TAO beach. This is a very interesting place to people watch and boy did we ever!! And getting some great sun as well.


Acknowledging my age I gladly recognize that this kind going... going.. going.. is reserved for Vegas I could not imagine living this pace in my real life.

Alex Says Good Bye to Junior High!

Alex has closed a pretty big chapter in June! He now looks to High school next year and says good-bye to a good friend Drew who is moving to Virginia. (pictured left) Jamie (pictured right). Alex has many good friends at school but these two will not be returning to Waterford. He seemed to weather Junior high pretty well but, what about High school??? He is such a great kid!
