Tunnel Slide!Trip to New York: We traveled east to visit Jesse's family and attend a wedding of Jesse's good friend, Nick Obourn to Lauren Goldberg. We visited Manhattan, Brooklyn and Beacon (where Dahlia and Bryan now live). Somehow we have no pictures of any friends or relatives besides Dahlia or of the wedding, but that doesn't mean we didn't have a good time!
Exploring sand and water at the Brooklyn Children's Museum
