New York, New York 2011

Let's Take on the Big Apple Shall We!!! WE want to Be a part of IT and we certainly did...NEW YORK, NEW YORK 2011!!
For Anne Craig's birthday, Moms (aka: grandmother- Elizabeth Melton) took me, Anne Craig and Blewett to New York for a little girly getway! We stayed with our cousin, Barbara Butler, who lives in the Hamptons most of the time but also has an apartment in the city. Can you say SWEEEEET! She was such a gracious host who also came into the city to show us the ropes and be our tour guide of sorts. It was wonderful to have her with us to show us how to HAIL down the cabs and zip around on the subways....New York style.
New York City- Here we come!
