My Parents Visit NY

Mid-August, my parents decided they were going to come visit NY! I was very shocked and very excited!! If you know my parents, they don't travel very much, so it was a huge surprise! :)

The first day, they flew into Buffalo around 1:30pm. Since Niagra Falls is only 30 min from Buffalo, we visited.

We got a few pictures by the falls together. :) We also ate at the Hard Rock Cafe which was A-mazing! :)

The second day, Paul and I showed them around base, where Paul worked, took them for "New York Style Pizza" @ Cams, and showed them some of the waterworks in the area where the Black River runs though. Dad was very impressed at all of the beautiful water scenery and rocks.

This is a picture of Mom and Dad standing in Black River (the city) where we walked by the waterworks.

Memorial crosses. :(

Some of the waterworks in Black RIver. :)

More pictures of black river :) On Day 3, we went to Alexander Bay and visited Boldt Castle. We also took a boat tour of Millionaires Row (where a few famous people used to live 100 years ago). It was fun! :)

On Day 4, we drove to West Point and Paul showed us where he had classes, where the stadium was, the library, a garden, etc.. It was a gorgeous campus!! I loved it.

DAY 5, we went to NYC!!! Dad and Mom's first trip to New York City.. I think they loved it. :)

In one day, we...

Visited Time Square (my personal FAVORITE) :)

Walked Central Park (where Paul and I got engaged a year b4) :)

Saw the statue of liberty.

Ate at the Shake Shack (as advertised by the Food Network) ..Its very good btw.

Rode the Subway..

Saw the empire state building, visited ground zero and memorial, rode in taxis and walked a ton! :) It was a great day!

Day 6, we took it easy. We went to church and visited with each other. We also had a bonfire with the neighbors and made smores! :) Delicious!

Day 7, I drove my parents to Buffalo and goodbye. It was sad, but exciting knowing I'll be down to visit in just a couple short months!!

---->23 short days until I'm Mississippi Bound!!! Emily's wedding is almost here and I cant wait! :) Then.. Christina's wedding will be here shortly after!! Woo HOO! :)

God has really blessed Paul and I here in New York. When we move to Missouri, we'll really miss New York and all of our wonderful friends we've made here. We know God's plans are greater than ours and we rest in that. Thank you God for being BIG and for allowing us to have such a great experience in New York! :) We love New York. :)

Prayer: Please pray for my friend Sarah's grandpa, Amy and her family, and the barracks ministry.

Love yall much! :)
