A Whirlwind Trip to NYC




A delayed flight made better as the pilot lets the girls hang in the cockpit.
We are greeted by a heat wave that even made these Chicagoans melt.  The camera has trouble acclimating to the temps.

Breakfast at the Smith and the requisite Photo Booth picture.

The girls are given cameras to capture the trip.  A huge selection of pigeon portraits are a guarantee.



Central Park swelters
Next we get swindled by a street vendor.  That will be $10.

Walking the Brooklyn Bridge...man these kids were tortured!







Seeing where Tito and Tita got married...feeling the love.




After a pizza dinner at Juliana's ("the best in Brooklyn") we digest our meal before heading home.
