Wendy's Trip to the Big Apple

I kinda wish we lived in Chicago, the title of this blog would have been epic.
So, I love last minute airfare price alerts, they bring me family and friends! WHOOP!
Mom and Wendy (a fellow University of Tulsa employee) flew into Newark and after a few minor detours through some not so great neighborhoods, bars and laundromats, we made it to our apartment in Jersey City. 
Here is our trip in pictures...I always look at my pictures and realize how much I missed! darn it!

And then I apparently lost the ability to take a photo...we went to church, ate wonderful food, and bought super cool items...I swear!

We had our first official guests in our new apartment! We are still working on our hosting abilities, but our rates are cheap and I think we make interesting company.
