Almost a month spent in one location. It was a nice contrast from the rest of our trip so far. The Caldwell ward here became our little extended family as we got to know them through our friendship with Dallas and Kim Jensen and their boys. The Jensen's were in a transition of their own as they were embarking on a new life in Raleigh, NC. We, along with the Jensen's family and friends, helped them pack up and move. It was a great way to rekindle a longstanding friendship and build new memories. We are so grateful for the time we were able to share with Dave and Jan Jensen, who housed us, fed us, gave us good suggestions for our visit to New York City and Dave's generosity in flying us over the Hudson River for a terrific view of the NYC skyline at night, breathtaking! Dave also took our boys up in his plane for some touch and go's one Sunday afternoon. There are so many cool things to see and do in NYC that a month still wasn't long enough, some of our favourites were; Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, Central Park, the Empire State Building (no sign of the peach!), our friend Tracy Versluis, Greenwich Village, the art parade in Soho, Brooklyn Bridge, making paella for the Jensen's, and a beach day at the Jersey shore.
