Getting to

Know Me

I would fly to New York every summer.

When I was younger,

I enjoyed many experiences like historic sites since my dad loved to teach us about history. I couldn’t wait to get back to school to tell all my friends about my amazing summer. Now I fly my two nieces out to see me from California. We go to central park, the zoo, roller skate and ice skate Rockefeller center, depending on the season. Broadway plays, the Rockettes, tea at the plaza and the alpaca sanctuary. The possibilities are endless. I want to share everything my dad did with me with my nieces to make the trip something so special and exciting that they cannot wait to tell their friends about it. Thanks to facetime I am very close with my nieces and talk to them every week. I cherish all my time with them, and I am so grateful that they get to fly out and see me. Even though I am sure that they are over the fact that their Aunt B just won’t stop hugging them.
