July..... Already?

I can't believe we are already into July. This year has gone by incredibly fast. I am trying to make an effort to actually blog more. The problem is that life/work is either crazy busy that I don't have time or things are trucking along and nothing is really going on to blog. The month of June has been a blur. Let's see..... I left off on New York round two. After getting into the hotel late Friday night and ordering room service (which was the best food of the entire trip), we ventured out to the American Museum of Natural History on Saturday. This was amazing!!! You could spend days in there.

After the museum,  we ate a hot dog on the benches in front and then walked through central park.  I cannot emphasize how lovely the weather was during our New York part of the trip.  After we went back to the hotel and looked around and just relaxed.  That evening we wanted to get out, but didn't want to do anything too taxing because we had to be up super early.  We decided to see the movie Brave.  I do not know how people afford to live in New York.  We purchased five movie tickets (two children, one senior, and two adults) and the price for the tickets alone was over $65.00.  Although, that could be the price here.  I can't tell you the last time I went to a movie, but that seemed a little high in my opinion.   The movie was okay.  Not really what I was expecting, but it wasn't bad.

As I have already mentioned, we got up super early to go home.   We almost missed the connecting flight, but we didn't.  I was so glad to be home.  All and all it was a wonderful trip.  The kids did awesome considering the unplanned stay in New York.

I am planning another mini-vacation/ work adventure July 11th.  For some reason, I have no CLE this year.  In the past I would always have some CLE carried over where I didn't need a ton.  However, this year I have none.  Therefore, I am going to the Advanced Real Estate CLE in San Antonio.  I am pretty hyped about going because it is at this amazing resort, and I am planning on meeting up with Ashley and her crew during the stay.  I know a CLE doesn't sound like fun, but this one should be interesting and they give you enough free time to actually relax.  After that trip, I am not planning on going anywhere until at least September when we travel up to Amarillo for Jackson's birthday party.    We haven't had a weekend home alone without guest or being somewhere since mid-May.    Right now Mema is in town to take care of her sister because she had knee surgery.  Payton is loving that Mema is in town, but yesterday they spent the day together and I think Mema was a little tired.  In fact, Mema said last night that maybe Payton should go to school today.

Hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July and God Bless America.
