Weekend Plus

Well, well. Wasn't that a great General Conference?  About 3 minutes before it started, we found out that our cable provider doesn't carry it on any of it's 500 channels.  what?  Cable has carried conference since the 80's!  Charter better get with the program or we'll have to switch to Direct TV. Oh, wait. We already hate Charter and are switching anyway. Well, good.  


By the second session we plunked the lap top at our table and discovered that the church has made leaps and bounds in the quality of their streaming video. It was gorgeous, no hiccups and so clear.  We made chicken noodle soup and cinnamon rolls and sang with the choirs.  That children's choir was so cute.  loved it.

Anyway, here are some more NY pics.  Mostly lame, just me and Doug taking pics of ourselves. I'm posting them for the future Blurb book. 

And lastly, We have our own in-house jack o lantern.  Owen lost his 4th tooth in about 3 weeks. He's got quite the wanky smile.  I'll get a pic this afternoon. 

This is a pic of the World Trade Center. We couldn't really find a good place to take a picture of it. 
Some metal from the Towers in the Visitors center.  If you're ever in New York you have to go to the visitors center, just be prepared for the emotion. I wasn't.  It caught me by surprise.

On the huge escalators coming up from the Path trains. These take you from the trains right under where the towers used to be. 

This place holds a bit of our money. Well, maybe not anymore.  ha ha. 


Doug chillin' near Times Square. I think we were trying to figure out which museum to go to. 

We ended up at MOMA.  This was one of the more impressive works.  Is Claude Monet's Reflections of Clouds on a Water-Lily Pond.  We had no idea it was so huge. 
This is a Sunday mid-morning power nap. Not too much time for sleeping on a 36 hour trip. 

This is coming out of the apartment where we stayed. very, very cute street.  

Good ole Radio City Music Hall
Cab ride back to the airport.
