New York City:
We had a wonderful and relaxing visit with my aunt and uncle
in New York City. Plus we had the chance
to meet up with a friend who previously lived in Houston and is now the
Librarian at the Sotheby’s Institute of Art. We toured his library and enjoyed a
lovely visit over lunch at the Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station!

After lunch, we visited the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and saw a
terrific exhibition of Constantin Brancusi:

| "Blond Negress II" |
And, of course, we had to visit the MoMA sculpture garden:

Here are just a few photos of iconic NYC sites we saw as we
walked around the city:

New Jersey: Atlantic City &
Cape May
We always wondered what Atlantic City would be like and
decided to drive down to walk along the Boardwalk. The views of the beach and water were
stunning:

We especially loved Cape May. Not only was the water and beach gorgeous,
but the town was quaint and the people were very friendly.
