New York

The first weekend of December Aaron and I went to NY to see Aaron's brother, celebrate Scott turning 30, and to see New York at Christmas. While pictures are limited... we did have a fun time.

Me and Steph on NO sleep. We got up early and Steph took the red eye to see the 9am show of the Rockettes.

The Martha Stewart Christmas Craft Fair... not what I expected, but I did get some good ideas for when I find some time. Aaron is such a trouper!!! What other man stands in line for an hour for crafts?

Macy's window displays on 34th Street. It rained allllllll day, but we toughed it out.

Boston

The weekend before Thanksgiving- Aaron and I went to Boston. This is the furthest north Aaron has ever been on the east coast, we had a wonderful day exploring and walking the Freedom Trail. Then the weekend finished off with a day of celebration at my cousin's Bat Mitzvah. I didn't understand most of the ceremony, being that the majority of it was in Hebrew. But it was fun to see her and her family as well as my mom, grandma, other cousin representative and son for any occasion. She did an awesome job and we were excited to be there to support her.

France

I finally figured out how to make a slide show! I think this is the easiest and fastest way to post these.... Time for bed :) I'll have to summarize the trip next time.

England in a Nutshell

So It's been awhile... I know. But I'm new to this *blog* thing. And I'm finally getting around to posting again. We have had a crazy couple of months, our summer started late being that Aaron spent May/June/July studying for the Bar Exam. So we decided to celebrate with my dream trip to England and France. Basically I've been planning this trip for the last six years and it was the perfect time to take the trip with Aaron finally done with law school and having taken the bar... We are ready to get on with our lives! So we pooled our Marriott points and Sky miles and were on our way.

Aaron was a little apprehensive at first being that he's never been to Europe, but once we got there he was like a kid in a candy store. We have well over 1,000 pictures of our trip and he was the number 1 photographer. I was so excited to take him back to where I use to live, introduce him to my friends, and explore places together. We got so lucky and ended up having sunshine the entire time, Aaron doesn't know the 'real' England with misting rain and overcast, maybe one day he will.

Following England we took the Chunnel over to Paris. I'll post about France next time, but below are some favorite pics of the trip in England.
