Summer Vacation

We took a bike tour of Central Park. Our tour guide was very enthusiastic about taking pictures with our camera. I think we came away with probably close to 75 pictures of our tour.

Jason took this picture while we were on top of Rockefeller Center. This is a view of the west side of NYC.

We also took a harbor tour to see the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty. In this picture, the Brooklyn Bridge is in the background.

We took the subway out to Coney Island one evening. The boardwalk was neat to see, but it was otherwise a very uneventful trip. Everything was closed up and waiting for warmer weather.

On our bike tour of Central Park, our guide took us to the famous "Friend's Fountain."

We celebrated our 8th anniversary while in New York. On our anniversary day, we drove out to BethPage State Park. This is a picture of us standing in front of the first hole of the famous BethPage Black golf course. The 2009 U.S. Open golf tournament was played at this course about a month after our visit.

Jason and I went to New York City for vacation this summer. We spent 10 days there in May and another week there in August. We saw almost everything the typical tourist sees and then some. Here are a few pictures of our travels.

Landscaping

It drives both Jason and I crazy to have a front yard that isn't landscaped and pretty. We loved our house in Georgetown because it was easy to sculpt and manicure. Our farm has taken some taming and work, but we're beginning to plant some shrubs and flowers to make it look nice.

Digging the Tank

Since it's been so dry this year, it was a perfect time to expand the tank on the front of our property. It will take quite a bit of rain to fill it up, so we're hoping for some more rainy weather this spring.

Springtime on the farm

We had 13 baby goats born this spring! Add those to our other goats and sheep and we've got over 40 animals on the farm.

Goats are known for their laziness, so it's not surprising that this baby found a comfortable place to take a nap.

Charlie is growing so big!

Thomas, Laura, and Charlie came for a visit a few weeks ago. Charlie is standing up really well and will be walking in no time.

New York Here We Come!

Jason and I are going to New York City for a week in May. I have a meeting for the first two days, and then the rest of our vacation will be exploring the city. We are excited to stay with Jason's sister, Angela, and to see some Broadway shows. We will also celebrate our 8th anniversary while we're there.

My Boys

This is one of my favorite pictures of when we were remodeling the house! What is everyone looking at?
