NYC & Philly Trip December 2012

One of the things I wanted to do on my bucket list was to see NYC at Christmas time. We asked Billy's parents, Nonni & Poppi, to join us on the trip for a long weekend. We also booked Amtrak tickets to ride up to Philadephia for a day. Kyle of course tagged along, so the trip was fun but tiring with her sleeping in our room.

Hill Country November 2012

Billy and I wanted to take a trip to the Hill Country before we moved from Texas, so we were able to squeeze in a couple of days before Thanksgiving. We took Kyle along for the road trip, and she ended up having a really good time.
