We made a quick little trip to NYC over the weekend and we had so much fun! My family was going to Italy to visit Adrianne's mission and their travel plans included a 12 hour layover at JFK. It's too bad Brad couldn't come with us, but his school scheduled part of his licensing exam that weekend. Nathan and I drove up to New York the night before so we could meet them bright and early to head out sight seeing.
Since we knew we had limited time in New York my mom booked us a tour bus so we could quickly see New York. It was raining practically the whole time we were in NYC, but we were determined to enjoy our tour. You couldn't see much from inside the bus so Adrianne, Malinda, Byron, and I donned ponchos and toughed it out on the top of the bus so we could see New York better. Poor Malinda ended up getting soaked. The rest of us only had wet knees and hands. Grandma and Grandpa stayed inside and watched Nathan. We switched about half way through so my parents could enjoy seeing the tour from the top deck. Nathan was perfectly happy to stay warm and dry inside the bus.
We got off the bus at Times Square to get some lunch. We grabbed some New York pizza and did a little walking in Times Square before it was time to head towards the airport. We got a couple of bad directions taking the subway, but we finally made it back to the airport in time for my family to make their flight.
It was a crazy busy day, but it was so much fun! The best part was seeing my family. Even though it was only for a few hours, when you live a 6 hour plane flight away it makes you appreciate every time you get to see family. And this was the first time I've seen Adrianne in almost 2 years! Thanks for the great day in New York!

Don't let this look fool you. He was thrilled to be on a bus.
