New York Visit

This is the face of the 5 year old waiting to catch a red-eye flight to NYC. 

Thankfully, he fell asleep 5 minutes before boarding.

Headed straight to Rockaway Beach - same routine as last year's visit!

The ocean felt great - perfect temperature on this gorgeous day!

We really could have stayed out all day...

Breakfast at Monticello Bagel Bakery - open since 1969!

Then we were off to see "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" at the same theater we saw "Beauty and the Beast" two years ago.

The production was fantastic and the cast mingled in the garden afterwards to meet their fans.

Trying to keep Kenzo on CA time, so had to stop here to prolong the night!

The next day we went to Aunt Patty's home - Kenzo was so excited to see the neighbor boys for some motorized fun!

Go cart - wahoo!

Nice family portrait, just missing Grandma Lynn.

Kenzo and his carrot buddies!

Yo-Yo...that's her new name given by Kenzo.

Max.

These two ate a LOT of carrots during our very short stay.

And, just like last year, we made a fast stop at Coney Island on our way out of town.

Yummy Nathan's Hot Dogs!

This ride is not recommended if you have just eaten a Nathan's Hot Dog.

And especially not when it was as humid as this day.

I am so thankful I didn't throw up.

I had the bumpy airplane ride home to have my second chance at that!
