This month was one of the best months of my life! We got a bonus 10-hour tour of New York City since we missed our connecting flight to Vegas the day before that. We volunteered to stay, so our co-workers could get home earlier. IT. WAS. AWESOME! Plus, we celebrated one of our favorite holidays: the Fourth of July, and we got to go to TWO different lakes for family reunions. Here are the highlights:
 |
| Here we are at Ground Zero. There was an indescribable feeling at this location. I hope to go back some day to attend the museum. |
 |
| Bucket List: Kissing at Time Square. |
 |
| Here we are at Grand Central Station; it's such a beautiful building. |
 |
| New York hot dog! |
 |
| Kissing on the Staten Island Ferry. |
 |
| Here we are with the Statue of Liberty. |
 |
| Wall Street! |
 |
| We even got to see the Manhatten Temple. |
 |
| I finally got to see Central Park. Also, our co-worker, Mandy Jones, flew back later with us. |
 |
