We made it...

Well, we made it to our destination (at least for the next 3 days)... Fairfield, NJ. We left Saturday & made a great stop at our friends in Columbus, OH for the night. It was great to see them since it's been 2 years since we've seen each other. Then we headed out for New Jersey a little later than what we had planned, but oh well. We made it here last night around 9pm... 9 hours in the car. Luke was a trooper! We made a few pit stops & at those he would run & run... it was a great way to blow off some pent up energy. Last night when we reached New Jersey Erik informed Luke that we won't be in the car as much today & Luke said, "Thank you daddy!" He was definitely ready to be done with the car. We've already had some New York style pizza - so yummy!! I'm sure it's not going to be the last one we eat!

This morning we're going to go down to the swimming pool. I chose this hotel because it has an indoor pool. I knew that Perry & Erik were making their trip into NYC for their walk (one that Luke is not ready for yet) & Luke & I needed something to do while they did that, so we're going to be using the pool a lot in the 3 days we're here. After we get ready (after swimming) we're going to go visit Erik's great Aunt Louise & go to Liberty Park so Luke can see the Statue of Liberty. Not sure when Perry & Erik are going to NYC, but we plan on taking Luke into the city to Central Park & other sites around the city.

Well, everyone is finally waking up, so I'm going to get off of here so we can go get breakfast & then go swimming. Hope you all had a great weekend! Until tomorrow...
