Thank You

I really had such a great time and was overwhelmed by the beauty of the trip and the many suprises along the way.

Thanks so much, Mom and Rob, for helping Dad plan my birthday treat. I really was so suprised by all of it... thanks for helping to make it perfect!

Caroline, thank you so much for being my awesome travel companion and incredible friend. I so enjoyed our bow-time conversations (while they lasted), our explorations (minus the pedicab!), and the many, many, many laughs we shared. Who better to share all of the crazy personalities we met along the way than you?? The airport bartender, Barbara at Coeymans, Steve at Half Moon, the police man, the pedicab driver, our TGIF waitress... too funny. I had the best time, and I loved sharing it with you. I will travel with you again any day, anywhere.

Dad, I can't say thank you enough. For everything. For taking on an extra passenger, for the amazing sights you showed us, for all of the laughs, for your hospitality on the Water House, for the exceptional birthday gift. The entire trip was overwhelming. I especially appreciated Saturday night, all of the lengths you went through to find the perfect dinner and the perfect show and the perfect seats. These trips with you have become one of the major highlights of my year... I love dreaming up where to go and what to do next. I so look forward to our next adventure.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jason, for taking such good care of the boys while I was gone. I so appreciated the time away to recharge. You are an amazing father, and I know that the boys LOVED their time with you.

Thank you, Granny, Grandaddy, Lindsey, and Kaila for coming to help Jason for the weekend. I know that he and the boys loved having you here to entertain them... thanks for taking such good care of all of my boys!!

(Good grief... sounds like an acceptance speech at the Academy Awards!)
