New York New York

Good eve all! Greetings from snowy Massachusetts. It's finally time for another Garrett family update. The Garretts are still doing well here in Randolph. Nothing much has changed since the last post, but we do have another big trip behind us.

Yesterday, Zach and I joined Eric, Tammy and Alyssa on a day trip to Manhattan. Tammy and Eric had gifted us this trip and we were so excited. The first thing on our agenda after an early morning bus ride, was a show at Radio City Music Hall. We saw the Christmas Spectacular and it certainly was spectacular. The show featured the famous Rockettes and they were amazing. Made me wish I had continued dancing all those years ago! Ha! The show was wonderful and I'm so glad we went.



The weather was less than cooperative for us but we made the best of it. We found a really great place for lunch/dinner called HB Burgers. Zach and I had the most incredible veggie burgers we have ever had. Tammy had one too and loved it. The food was excellent and they even made their own specialty beers and sodas. I had the pomegranate lime soda and it was quite tasty. After some food, and some time to dry off from the rain, we walked around a bit. Some places we visited over the course of the day were Rockefeller Plaza, Sax Fifth Avenue, St. Patrick's Cathedral and a local private showing of an art exhibition. The art was a treat! We just stumbled upon it walking down Madison Avenue.

The Garretts and Welsches had a wonderful day in the city. A sunnier day would have been nice, but we made do and had a fun time anyway. We definitely look forward to another visit some day.
