Between educational visits to Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown, we found some time to visit Busch Gardens. We survived the 240-foot drop of Mach Tower.

One of 3 (yes, 3) Space Shuttles we've seen on our travels (this was in D.C.). The only one we haven't seen is the one in L.A.

Top of the Rock (Rockefeller Center) observation deck in New York, with Central Park in the background. I think we finally got the kids' jaws to drop again. It's been a while now.

Too cute to resist. There are lots of flowers and trees blooming in New York right now. This is in Central Park near Belvedere Castle.

Completion of our bike trip through Central Park. Started at the south end (59th St), rode all the way to the north edge (110th St) and back again! Quite a ride on a beautiful day!

  4. I am so glad to have these wonderful pictures! And appreciated so that Clifford was trying to show them to me on his iphone, and I found out I truly cannot operate that modern thing! But, wow, these pictures make so many things even better! Loved all of them, thank you, David! Love, Millie, Mother and MeMa

  6. When ever I thought of NYC. Well, it was a fast passing thought. A who cares kind of attitude. However, after reading all the great information and description of the different places, I’m like wait, I want to see this place. Thank you for all you time and effort and the great pics. And thank my dear friend Keith Paschall for suggesting I look at this. Last words….LOOOOVE THIS!!!!!♡ A+++
