Home for a Day

I got home yesterday from Florida and tomorrow we are leaving again for New York. We're going to stay in Virginia and then I'm going to take the boys for a quick trip to D.C. I told them to pick one thing they really want to do and they picked the National Museum of Natural History. After that we are going to drive on up to Long Island, NY. My MIL is there and we are going to stay with her sister for a week. On Thursday we have reservations to go up to the crown of The Statue of Liberty, so that should be a lot of fun. I'd love to go to SoHo to see all the cool shops, but I'm not sure what we'll have time to do. There's so much I'd like to do! It's been 17 years since I've been to NYC. :)

I did get some stitching done while I was down in Florida. I mostly worked on "Finch Song." Here's my latest progress pic...

Finch Song

Well, I'd better get back to doing laundry and repacking our bags. Write later!

  3. You will have a good time at Lady Liberty--are you taking the circle line tour of Liberty state park? (The ferry that stops at Ellis and Liberty Island?) That is my favorite way to "see" the city. I love going, and anytime someone visits I'm sure to take them there!

    You mentioned soho, but you should think about checking out the fabric/other goodies shops in the fashion district---dozens and dozens of fabric and lace and edging and other goodies closet-sized shops all in a row down a particular street....MAYBE 5th and 42nd??? At any rate, it's where those "fashion-creators" get all their supplies! I want to go again soon and find some unique bargains!

    At any rate, have a great time! :D
    (I'm hoping our pretty-good weather holds!)

  8. Beautiful SB Nicole! I love that pear - so sweet! Have fun on your trip. Personally, a trip to NYC wouldn't be a trip to NYC without a visit to Serendipity for frozen hot chocolate!

  19. Where on Long Island are you staying? There is a GREAT LNS in Rockville Center called Lazy Daisy Stitchery. Diana is the owner and she is so nice to deal with. If you have time you should try to drop by the shop. It's so nice.

  24. Have a fun trip to DC & NY, Nicole. We *always* go to the National Air & Space Museum"> - I just love that one.

    I've never been to the Statue of Liberty - it's been about 11 years since I've been to NY - I definitely need to re-visit.

    Finch Song is beautiful!
