Jim and Irene Invade New York

Last weekend we had the pleasure of hosting Mom and Dad Sinn. The first few days were filled with city stuff...eating at Afghani, Korean, and authentic Italian (located in the heart of Little Italy) restaurants. Friday and Saturday were full of touristy things around the city, like a visit to the top of the Empire State Building, touring old churches, walking around Battery Park and Central Park, etc. After a couple days in the city we decided to venture out and head up to the Catskills. The trees were in rare form and we were all impressed by how many of them there were!



These first few are from the Morse Estate, the guy who created the Morse Code. Our hotel happened to be right next to it so we took a walk through it.




The next few are from the Catskills State Park.





This House was built around 1717. It's amazing how old some of the buildings are.


This is close to West Point. We stopped by, but really didn't get any cool pictures. It was a gorgeous area though.

Hope the comment instructions work out. I've had so many people say they tried to leave a comment but couldn't (I'm not sure how hard they really tried...). I think once I took off the setting where I had to approve the comment before it shows up, that helped a bit, because they can see the comment pop up right away. I can't remember if you guys have that setting or not, but I guess I'll find out in about 5 seconds when I click "Publish" :)
