New York, New York (need to finish and photos)

Mark arrived in New York Thursday night.  Betsy got them a hotel room right in Time Square!!!

Mark, Robert and Marissa checked into the hotel and then went down to the square to bask in all the excitement.  They were able to get their faces up on the big screen!  How exciting!!!

I feel so left out.  I didn't get to do any of the fun things in Philadelphia and now I'm missing out on New York.  I'm the one that arranged all the sites and hotels, but I don't get to enjoy any of it.  I'm glad they are having such a great time, though!!!!

Perfect day in Philadelphia

Robert, Marissa and Mark left on Wednesday around 12:00 pm for the long drive of their "Last trip before college" for Marissa.

Mark has always wanted to take the family to New York and Philadelphia, Palmyra, etc. ... but we just haven't had the time to get away.  This year Mark decided to just take the time since Marissa quit at Tinseltown on 8/1.

Wednesday they made it to Harrisburg and spent the night there.  The next morning they made it into Philadelphia and had a wonderful day.  Mark and the kids took a bike tour of the city.  They got to see all the sites!!!

Next stop is to see Gumby (Brian Monson) in Wilmington, PA and then head up to New York.
