The Big Apple

Last week we went to NYC. Don't let people tell you otherwise, New Yorkers are a friendly bunch, especially if you have cute kids. Everywhere we went, especially the subway, people were friendly and more than willing to answer the toddler's question of "what's your name?". So, if you are looking to go to NYC and are a little scared that the big apple is intimidating, bring along a cute smiling baby and a curious three year old and you'll be fine.

The opinion that U of Michigan Wolverines is the best team ever is MANDATORY!!!

Apparently, it is a requirement that if you live in Michigan you MUST be a fan of the University of Michigan Wolverines. Now I'm just not a fan of football to begin with but Michigan's obsession with football is all pervasive. Twice this past week I've been to functions where the talk turned to football. One of those functions was 15 women and one man, and it still turned to football. Craziness!!
