Spring Break 2013!

For several years now, we have gathered with my mother and brother's family to celebrate spring break.  The last two years, we spent the week at Lake Burton in north Georgia, and have had a fun and relaxing time.  Here are some photos from the week (at home and at the lake).



Greer showing-off her hands after drawing with sidewalk chalk.

















This is how Greer likes to dress ALL THE TIME.  Sure, we're at the lake...doesn't matter to her.



Funny faces!



Celia loved to perch on this table and watch Dumbo.


MamaSu entertaining the crowd.



Playing with sparklers!

New York, New York!

Greg and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary on March 1st with a trip to the Big Apple!  We had so much fun, and it was such a nice break from work, life, kids, etc.  

We started our vacation at Serendipity III with their famous Frozen Hot Chocolate (plus a few other items...it was a very indulgent trip.).

One of our favorites was Saint Patrick's Cathedral.  This picture really does not do it justice.

Being good tourists, we made a trip through Times Square.

Greg at work away from work in front of the NASDAQ ticker.

Grand Central Station was near our hotel, and beautiful - especially at night.

Speaking of our hotel - here is the Waldorf=Astoria.  As I mentioned, it was an indulgent trip.

That's me as we enter Central Park.

One of my favorite stops - Tiffany's!

Drinks at Bemelman's Bar in the Carlyle Hotel.  It was so fancy!  Our server was wearing a white tuxedo!

Again at Bemelman's Bar.  A nice couple from Texas sat at the table next to us, and we took photos of each other.

Anniversary night in the hotel lobby.  Getting ready to go out to an incredible meal at Gramercy Tavern dining room.

Alice in Wonderland bronze sculpture in Central Park.  Made us think of the girls for the 100th time...

Enjoying a special dessert (look at the writing on the plates!) at Gramercy Tavern.


Greg looks extra happy in front of the NY Stock Exchange.  I made him let me take this photo.

Amazing dinosaurs at the American Museum of Natural History - another favorite of ours.



Again at the Natural History Museum.
This was actually taken in FAO Schwartz - we thought Greer would love to see the T-Rex behind Daddy.
An (edited) photo of the Brooklyn Bridge.  We walked all the way across, then ate delicious pizza and cannoli in Brooklyn.

Sweet Celia at home with MamaSu for the week.  She got lots of holding and yummy food while we were gone.

Big girl Greer with ribbons in her hair and on her shirt (and Wooly).

Ready for school on mis-matched clothes day.
