Jess and I had an amazing time in New York. We had some very gracious hosts (Lisa and ruben, Drew and Ashley and Isaac) and we made some really great memories.
I told you guys a little about the first half of our trip and I'll tell a little more as I post pics.
The first two pics are of Jess and me at the Austin airport...ready for New York!
The first thing we did when we got into New York was head to Drew's school. It was a really great school...very creative education oriented. This little girl in the next picture is Ginger. She was taking a ballet class there that day and she fell in love with Jessica. Her nanny informed us that her imaginary friend's name is Jessica so she must have thought her imaginary friend had come to see her! She was an extremely precocious little girl.
Later that night, Jess and I went to the Broadway production of Mary Poppins. It was one of my favorite parts of the trip. The entire show was great and at the very end, she flew out over the crowd in the last scene.
After Mary Poppins, we walked around Times Square and Rockefeller Center and that is where most of these next pictures are from.
On Saturday, Jess and I visited the Museum of Natural History. We saw an awesome IMAX movie about Sea Creatures and the beginning times when Dinosaurs walked the Earth. It was another favorite part of the trip. We also walked through a butterfly observatory and butterflies were flying EVERYWHERE around us. They would land on your body and your clothes. They were beautiful! 
Later that night, we met up with Robert Allen (old friend from Belton) whose mom, Laura Messer, I used to work for. He lives in New York and manages a store there called Jack Rabbit Sports. They sell clothing and gear for running, biking, swimming and triathalons. They would be the "RunTex" of New York. (For you Austinites, you know what that means.)
And last...but definitely not least...this might be another favorite moment on the trip...
He was on our flight home...Hook 'em!!
Again, we had an amazing time and made some wonderful mother/daughter memories. Now...looking forward to Ava's tenth!!

I love the pictures!! I know you made memories with Jess that will last forever! Remember, you will need help when you take Ava, so I will be available!
The pictures are great! Thanks for sharing. You and Jess are so photogenic that I'm really glad someone there didn't try to keep you for models.
Great pictures! It will be a trip you and Jess will look back on forever...and Colt McCoy was just icing on the cake!!!
It looks like you had a great trip! I love the pictures. What wonderful memories for both of you. See you soon!
What a special trip. I'm glad you both had such a good time. Can't wait to hear more on Christmas Eve!
