| We found a January weekend, with decent weather--and we were off to NYC. That's about all it takes. Jay finally got to see "The Lion King". |
 |
| One of our NYC traditions is Crumbs Cupcake Shop. Thankfully, we do share them. They are huge and so good! |
 |
| A view of Times Square from our room. |

| On Saturday night, it was rainy, but warm. We had such an enjoyable evening just walking around in the rain. |
 |
| A must do for us--a walk in Central Park! J is sporting his beard. |

| We were still several weeks from our next trip to Hawaii, so we decided we needed some time on a beach. We love beaches, and though Hawaii is our favorite place for beaches occasionally we visit other beaches to help us make it until we get back to Hawaii. We first thought about Pensacola, but that didn't work out because we couldn't get there. We ended up on North Padre Island. Neither of us had ever been there, so we didn't have high expectations. The weather was forecast to be cloudy and cool. However, we really enjoyed the beach. We walked for a long time--pretty much having the beach to ourselves. North Padre is not busy and we thought it was very pretty. It was a great trip! I think we will make it until we go to Hawaii now!! |

| The sun broke through the clouds and we had a gorgeous day! |
 |
| My handsome honey on a pretty beach. Can you get any more romantic? |
 |
| Love the birds sitting on their perches! |
 |
| We were amazed at our pretty this beach was. |
 |
| The absolute, most fun thing was driving on the beach. We were in a rental car--the sand was packed hard. This was a blast!! |
 |
| We had a delightful trip to Santa Fe! These are the mountains to the north and west and we drove into Santa Fe. |
 |
| The best reason to go to Santa Fe! You can drink your chocolate. This was delish and fun! |
