Even though we went to NY for the worst of reasons, the girls managed to bring sunshine and light to everyone each day. They were both so excited to go to Nana’s, and we enjoyed our moments spending time just hanging out with Nana and Kiki. They took baths with Nana (not every grandchild can say that- haha), hung out until the wee hours with kiki (typically they dont get to do this b/c she usually has work the next day), went trick or treating with all of us, walked around queens all together and played in the park, etc. It was great to spend time all together without people rushing off to work. This is what the kids will remember from our trip. This is what PaPa would have wanted them to remember. All was perfect in the most imperfect situation. Here are some pics from hotels on our travels, car rides, San Jose, Baltimore and NY :). They were absolutely fun to travel with the entire time. They kept me smiling when I didn’t feel like smiling. Their energy and love is contagious.
