Golf Lessons

We signed the kids up for golf lessons & they got their money's worth just in all the free stuff they got! They got $50 golf shoes, ball retriever, free kids meals at Chick-fil-A, balls, & lots more. Austin even won a set of golf clubs! The last day they have a family BBQ, contests, & more give aways. These pics are of one of the contests.

New York City Day 5

Ryan had a conference in New York City so Andrea & the Diva tagged along. Andrea meant to post these pics at the end of each day, but the hotel room would only allow 1 computer with internet access. Ryan had appropriately used his work computer, therefore we are just getting them posted now, & in backwards order!

Mickey was around the corner from our hotel (& a long way from home, ha ha!)
We went to Toys "R" Us where they have this gigantic ferris wheel inside.

Very excited to see this movie!!

Haven't seen rain like this for a while, but it was weird to see the streets of NYC empty! Except for this rat on the corner-we named him "Remi." He wouldn't move if you got up close to him, crazy rat!

We were soaking wet from the rain when we got into the shuttle for the airport.

We had a fun trip & even got to fly first class on the way home!

NYC Day 4

Everytime Ryan & Andrea have tried to go to the Guggenheim Museum, we have not been able to. This trip we went on a Thursday. Apparently, it is closed on Thursday's!

Metropolitan Museum of Art Building

We walked around trying to find the "Alice in Wonderland" statue in Central Park. The whole time she thought we were going to see a play!

Again, "her" bridge. This time we walked across it.

This was hanging in the 911 Memorial Museum "preview." The memorial will open 9/11/11.

World Trade Center Towers site. The glass building on the left is the only one they have rebuilt. It currently has 48 floors finished.

Firehouse across from WTC-Engine House Ten.

We saw "The Addams Family" Musical on Broadway. Bebe Neuwirth (Fraser's wife, Lilith from Cheers) played Moricia & Roger Rees was Gomez. Great show, but nothing like the TV show!

We ate dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe after the show

Can't remember what she ordered, but it was messy! The waitress even helped clean her up!!Walking back to the hotel, we met "Spiderman"

NYC Day 3

Today was the day she had been waiting for-Ellis Island & the Statue of Liberty!

Ferry Ride

Statue of Liberty

Ellis Island

The city she was named after ...

For some reason, she thinks she was named after the bridge, so she thought seeing that was pretty cool.

Financial District

New York Stock Exchange

We just HAD to go in here!!

Hard Rock Cafe, NYC

We even made it to a Yankee game!

Andrea's favorite player, but he got injured the night before we went to the game.

Such a cool stadium & fun game!

NYC Day 2

We had no plans & decided to go to Coney Island

It was so windy!

They had a ride named after her!

At one point, this was the world's largest ferris wheel

First ride on a subway

Fun in Central Park

Still wonder why she's the Diva?

Empire State Building at night

Ryan & Andrea have seen the ESB during the day, so we opted to go at night. There were no lines & we got right to the top! Not the best photos, but the view was amazing!
