we had such a great time in NYC this weekend! This time we drove down which was really easy and close. We got to see our friends who just moved to NJ and stayed at their adorable apartment. They were so good to us!

Saturday was our only day in the city so we jumped on the train early that morning and headed around.

all it takes to get this happy face from chris is a jamba juice....rochester does not have one so as soon as we saw one we had to stop even though it was 30 degrees!

the reason for travel was mrs hobby from sydney austrialia! kimball hobbie was chris' mission companion in milano italia. his wife paige is from canada so she was traveling home to see family and stopped in NYC.
we jumped down to visit with her. it has been 8 years since chris has seen either of them so there was a lot of catching up to do.
