You've fit so much into the few days you've had.
I love the photo with the kayak I loved Pocahontas when I was younger, we've just got it and plan to watch it at the weekend with the kids Really enjoyed your report again Abby and definitely one for us to pop on the ever growing list so thank you xx

Excellent last day, you made the most of every last minute!
I love that photo of you and Max. The 2 museums look really interesting, especially the Museum of American Indian. Will add those to the list of must sees! The food at the Dubliner looks lovely, will jot that one down. You struck it lucky with the seats on the plane and having a row of three between 2. I love it when that happens Thoroughly enjoyed reading your report Abby, I have loads of hints and tips written down for our trip next year |

I think I would have preferred the American Indian museum too. I’m not always a big fan of museums because I sometimes find myself back in my student days when I had to analyse how the information has been interpreted and presented to the public...I think I must suffer from museum fatigue-it’s a strange habit I need to switch off!
Can you ever really go wrong with an Irish bar? I feel like we sampled far too many in New York but we were child free! A good flight home, shame it wasn’t business! I’ve enjoyed following along and can’t wait for the next City break-I’ll keep my fingers crossed you go for Canada and I can just copy your itinerary! |

I know running in all that rain must have been awful. I won't tell Martin about Air and Space so your secret is safe. I'm kind of glad you got bitten too! I think we got most of ours on the day we went to Jefferson and FDR. I actually hit a gnat or whatever it was that was on Kate's arm while she was eating a banana at the Roosevelt memorial. I don't know wherever they were I wasn't expecting it.
I'm keen on Toronto as I really want to go out to Niagara, we will see...no firm plans just yet, but when a seed of an idea is sown the plans aren't usually far behind. Yes the kayak one is a good photo. I think we did really well to fit in all the memorials and museums. It was a great trip. There's so many places on my wish list too, I'm not sure how I'm ever going to get around to them. It's a funny selfie of us both. I like it too. I don't think you could go wrong with the museums and a couple of hours is all you need really, ok so we didn't read everything, but we managed to get a good feel for it all. The American Indian museum was my favourite of the day. We did get lucky on the plane, the kids stretched out and we all slept well. Definitely can't go wrong with an Irish bar. This was great. We like to pick them, at least we know what we'll get we also went to a couple of good ones in Boston. But this time the others all made better menu choices than I did. I could have happily eaten any of their meals. Not that mine was bad, it was nice, but I was envious of Dave's stew and Kate's BLT and Max's steak. Ah well, the Dark and Stormy made up for it. I've not had one of those before. I've since looked it up and have a recipe and plan on making it this weekend so expect to be bombarded by cocktail photos Interesting, another vote for Florence. I'd still go for Rome too though like you.

You know I love an espresso martini. It sounds like you had a great night in New York, but I bet it was expensive I remember the cocktails being quite pricey from when we were there.
Thank you, that's lovely of you to say. I always start with the idea of writing the reports for me and have them all saved on my pc at home with the idea of reading them all one day when I can't remember them all so well. I have this hope that the kids will read them and have fond memories of the trips when they are older. Anyway, I'm also so lucky to be able to post them on here as I love to write them and it's so nice to be able to share them people who enjoy them as well, so then I try to add in tips and hints and lots of side comments too. So I'm glad it doesn't bore you to death! That's great I hope you enjoy your trip next year. Apply early for White House tickets, I think that's why we didn't get them as I left it too late and they had all gone. But still the Capitol was a great tour.
