The National Aquarium

We are so excited to have my dad visiting this weekend!  For a special activity we took a drive up to Baltimore to see the National Aquarium.  Despite some pretty dreary weather, we had a wonderful day exploring the aquarium, sharing a great lunch, and visiting on the hour long car ride.  It is so fun to have guests and get out to see new things.  Thanks, dad, for a great day!

Rawr!!!

This giant turtle was the star of the aquarium.

New York

My mom came to visit this week. It was so great to see her and give her and Kylie time together. For some reason, we always end up in NYC when she comes to visit!

This time we had to go to New York to wrap up a last minute errand before our upcoming move, so we decided to make a day of it.

First stop was in Baltimore for a BBQ Pit Beef Sandwich from our Food Network 50 States - 50 Sandwiches challenge. After we checked into the hotel, we met up with Jake for dinner in Little Italy. There was a 2+ hour wait at Parm (state sandwich of NY), so we just wandered down cheesy (literally and figuratively) Mulberry St. and grabbed a bite at a kitschy restaurant complete with accordion serenading! After dinner, we stopped for churros and chocolate, then said goodnight. 

Autumn and I took a walk up to Times Square before heading off to bed. The next morning, we headed back down to DC. 

Thanks for the great visit mom!

 Hard to find, but worth the trip!
CASH ONLY!

 Mmmmm....beefy!

View from the room! So festive!

That's right, churros and chocolate.  Feel like we're back in Mexico for a minute!

Say "Quiejo"!

Happy Birthday Rich!

Rich had two requests for New York:

1.) Eat a hot dog on the street....
We all did this except Autumn, who wisely went for kebabs instead.
Autumn was the only one happy with their lunch decision!
2.) Eat NY style pizza! Great idea!

Breakfast of Champions!
