Surviving the NYC

The Parrish fam set off on the most spontaneous trip to date....NYC for Valentine's Weekend with a one year old.

And it was a success. JR not only earned his wings (no joke, Continental gives tiny wings to babies--what choking hazard?!), but he also loved the long strolls throughout the big apple, made especially long because Mommy didn't have her navigation hat on straight...and Daddy's navigation hat does not exist....fahgetabioudit! Sure it was a wee but chilly, but LOVE in NYC makes us warm!
We hit all the kid-approved spots: giant Toys R Us at Times Square, FAO Schwartz, Rockafeller Center, and Children's Museum of Manhattan. Mid-day naps at the Sheraton were also enjoyed by all.

The most rewarding aspect of the trip was visiting with friends and family: Lucia and fiance Brian, and Aaron and Pam. It is so fabulous to connect with folks, get in some truly great bearhugs, and meaningful conversation.
