Visitors from Down Under
We had my nephew Shane and his fiancée Vicky out for a visit to the Hudson Valley. They spent some with us up in the Hudson Valley, meeting Evie for the first time.
Our Upstate week was followed by a quick trip down to the city to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, with the requisite stop at the halfway point.
We headed out for a quick cruise on the Staten Island Ferry, which has a new, beautifully designed terminal, and is the best (and free) way to check out the Statue of Liberty. (I took about 30 pics of the Statue of Liberty, forgetting how ridiculously boring and unnecessary they would be when I downloaded them from my camera. That’s how awesome the Statue of Liberty is: it makes you think that your picture, the twenty-seven millionth picture of it ever taken, will be interesting.)
We ended our NYC day overlooking the city lights with a bottle of champagne to celebrate our visitors’ big news: Shane’s ultra-suave proposal at the top of Rockefeller Center, followed by Vicky’s YES!
A big congrats to you both—we miss having you here with us!
