The Perry Pack: Fun in the Big Apple!

We took the Long Island Railroad from Aunt Dale's house into the city a few times. The first day we met Aunt Jan, Pastor Lloyd, David, and Aaron Syvertsen at a diner in Times Square. It was SOOOO great to reconnect with them! They were by far our closest family friends growing up, we spent holidays with them, went apple picking together and up to West Point every year, took trips up to Spofford together...they were like family to us!

After lunch with the Syverstsens we headed over to Central Park with Ash and Dave.

After Central Park we went over to the Museum of Natural History where we spent a good portion of the day.

Ash and MJ seem to be a little bit nervous

Nothing more fun than walking the streets of NYC!

We didn't see Letterman but Ashley and David did!

After a long day of seeing the sights of NYC we were all pretty wiped out. Ash and Dave let us stay in their hotel room with them so that we didn't have to take the train all the way back to Long Island. The four of us squeezed into one bed and little Maya slept peacefully on a palate on the floor. (Sorry, Maya!) The next morning we went to see Saint Patrick's Cathedral and Rockefeller Center and that afternoon Uncle Pete and Aunt Dawn took us to see the Statue of Liberty and South Street Seaport.
