April Vacation

April Vacation is almost over! We went to our first Revolution away game at the Meadowlands (NY Red Bulls 1:1 Revs) on Saturday. Since the girls had never been to NYC, we spent Sunday and Monday doing as much as can be packed into 2 days in New York. We hit Times Square, Central Park, the Museum of Natural History, the Empire State Building and Korea Town on Sunday, then Battery Park (for views of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island), Ground Zero, Chinatown, Little Italy, and Times Square again (so Anika could ride the ferris wheel in Toys 'R Us) on Monday.

On Wednesday our old AFRC Chiemsee chums Dorothy (living in Boston) and Lynette (visiting from DC) came up to visit us, and we spent a couple of days in York, Ogunquit, and Portland before following them back into Boston on Friday night for dinner, caffe, and dessert in the North End then a stroll around Quincy Market.

Today the grill and deck furniture came back out, I mowed a bit, and Miyoung got all the leaves out of the gardens. Must be springtime! Just 6 more weeks of school for me before I'm off for Germany with the high school kids (23 of them) for their exchange with our partner school in Leverkusen.
