The Best Part

Before I can close the chapter on our New York trip (and move on to something from this month's adventures), I have to share with you the best part of our girls week (okay, almost 2 weeks) in the Big Apple.

It wasn't the parks (although they are the best!)...


Or all the cool museums...


Or acquiring a chocolate addiction thanks to some good friends (you know who you are!)...


Or even all of the dancing around...


Or general silliness...


It was all that great time spent visiting with family and friends!!


Above is Grace with her cousins Robbie and Evan and below is their beautiful sister, Haley!



Below are Grace's Great-Grandparents and Aunt Julie...

And here's a close-up of Great Aunt Jules...

Here I am with a pack of buddies whom I miss on a daily basis (along with the photographer of this pic, the beautiful and talented Amy Helin)...

And, Mina says, "Hey, Don't forget me! I was the birthday girl!"

And there's that same move from her Daddy!

Seeing our friends and family was the best part of the whole trip. I hope you guys are booking your tickets down to visit Casa Perkins real soon! We're waiting for ya (that's Fort Myers speak for you!)
