Trip to the east coast

Natalie recently took the third plane ride of her life. This time we went out east to see her Great Aunt Laura and Great Grandma Robinson in New Jersey. Grandpa Steve also came along, which Natalie was thrilled with. We all had a wonderful time! We got to see a Christmas concert, the huge Christmas tree at Rockafeller Center, and the Statue of Liberty. Julie and I were happy to make it out to the statue since we weren't able to visit it during our last trip to NY.

Natalie did great with our long, windy day in Manhatten, and she also made friends with Aunt Laura's dog Emma. At the beginning Natalie definitely wasn't too thrilled with sharing the condo with Emma, but by the end of the trip Natalie and Emma were getting along very well. Natalie was still talking about Emma even after we made it home.

Thanks to Aunt Laura and Great Grandma Robinson for taking care of us during our visit, and thanks to Grandpa Steve for letting us hijack what was originally supposed to be a nice, peaceful trip out east :-)
