New York Christmas


Well, the family said they wanted to go to New York City, in December,
to see the Christmas decorations.

The big tree at Rockefeller Center...

I said..."well, what about the grand-daughter ?  
Can she handle all the walking we'd do in a New York trip ?..."

"...and what about the cold ??...it will be De-cem-ber...??..."

But the little one was a champ.  Handled all the walking,
and her mom had her bundled well.
She handled the near-freezing cold as well as the rest of us.

Rather popular with the passers-by...

A holiday-decorated model train store...

And...the little one got to see snow for the first time !
And it was the perfect amount of snow...a light accumulation,
which never got to be a mess on the roads.

All in all, it could not have worked out better,
logistically, weather, things we got to see, everything.
We had fun !

Y'all take care,
-Mark
