Pictorial journal of travels to New York...Have taken a bite out of the Big Apple a few times and nibbled on a few other places too! 1st trip was part of grand adventure to find "real snow" when kids were little. Trip included NYC. Next trip was with Kristina's high school group. 3rd time was to fulfill granddaughter's wish to see the Statue of Liberty!! Last time was to experience holidays on an Aliant Bank trip. Friend, Sue, went with me. Hope to see more of the state one of these days!
