Exploring the City with Lady O!

New York City, New York

Today my lovely friend Orienna and I got to take a train to New York City together! Now that we are both living back in the United States, we hopefully will have the opportunity from time to time to get together and have more adventures!

Orienna & me in Grand Central

We didn't have more than a couple hours to explore this day but we made every second count. We hit some of the cute shops on or way from Grand Central Station to the Memorial pools. We also found an amazing dim sum place in China Town. There was so much walking but just being out and about on such a beautiful day was totally worth the fitbit step count!

Orienna was just visiting some friends so I was lucky that I got to grab her for the day. Happily I will see her again soon when her and her husband come for his West Point reunion this summer!

4th of July at West Point

July 4th, 2017

Jack and I started our 4th of July at the Brotherhood Winery. They had music, food and drinks. It was a lot of fun, although pretty hot! They had some wonderful wine selections and even some good beer ones for my guy!

After the winery we met up with all our friends at West Point's 4th of July fireworks display. It was such a fun time. We met up at our friend Maryam & Tyler's house for a potluck and brews then walked to the fireworks.

Just look at that view!

Moving to New York

Moving to New York!

My husband was so wonderful that he let me go to Europe with my family while he completed everything for our move from Virginia to New York. I flew out of Virginia and flew into New York. It was a pretty easy move for me! :) We will be in New York for the next three years. Michael was asked to teach at the esteemed United States Military Academy at West Point. We are so excited about our time here and look forward to all the new experiences that this will bring!
