Long Island

My mom and I went to New York and had the bestest week ever. The kids were getting ready to end school, with all their finals and Brandon and Brittany had their big POP'S Concert at Corona High. But I knew that Paul could handle it, because he is Paul.
Mom and I left first thing on Monday morning (May 4)
We got a rental car at JFK after we landed and had so much fun driving around the island to see the places that my mom grew up around.
WE SAW: The store she worked in when she met my dad, and the church they got married in. The beach that mom sat on for hours every summer as a kid. We even made it into the "CITY" for a day. We took the train in, then got on the subway to BROADWAY!Saw all the graffiti. I had gotten mom and I ticket's to "Guy's and Doll's" for Mother's Day. Her first time to see a Broadway show, ever! (Even though she grew up on the island she never went into the city for a show) We had soooo much fun. Then we took a tour bus and saw the town. We saw all the big sights, Time Square and even the TEMPLE! (there was a group of missionaries outside waiting to go in...it was so unreal) Visited mom's two sisters and had as much food as we could from the deli and bakery's. I loved the cheese cake! Mom couldn't have enought potato salad, and I loved it as well. Shopping in Babalon was also fun.(the city mom grew up in) Driving along the "Montak Highway" to the Light House. Going to the Hampton's. What can I say? We totally want to go back again next year...and stay longer! Enjoy the photo's.
