The Cox Family Takes Manhattan





Good times were had by all as Ellen, Tyler, Cierra, Josie, and Jensen visited the Big Apple for the first time. They summarily fell in love with our neighbor Susan and all things New York. We had ambitious plans and didn't quite squeeze in everything we wanted to but definitely gave it the old college try. We started at the Staten Island Ferry, walked to Trinity Church, visited Ground Zero, walked through China Town, had lunch at "Excellent Dumpling House" (you betcha there were some pork buns involved), roamed Times Square, sauntered through Central Park, and took a stroll down 5th Avenue. We probably walked a good 6 miles in the scorching heat, all on what little sleep was achieved as the entire Cox family huddled on our bedroom floor. Truly it was a delightful day, full of smiles, photo ops, and even some silly band purchases. Now if we could only convince them to move here permanently...
