There's No Place Like Home

Well, it has been so long since I last posted and boy there's a lot to tell! Over 2 weeks ago Matthew and I packed up the car and, braving all odds, took a loooooooong road trip all the way from North Texas to Lynchburg, Virginia and New York City! Although the trip was planned months in advance, we had no idea it would be so timely, all things considered. Praise the Lord for that!

Here are some photos of our 9-day adventure:

The Fall foliage in Lynchburg was just stunning!

Matty & Me

We visited an old church that one of our favorite

authors, Sheldon Vanauken, who wrote "A Severe Mercy",

used to attend while living in Lynchburg and writes of in his book

Matty "jumping off" of a cliff

in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia

We picked apples! This is me

with the bounty :)

Times Square

Such a happenin' place!

Central Park

There were so many cool bridges

and beautiful trees!

Quality time with the Gaffin Grandparents

in New Jersey. They were sweeties!

NY taxi drivers are everywhere and boy

are they craaazy!

We ate at this cute restaurant, of

which the movie "Serendipity" (one of our faves)

is named for. It was scrumptious!

Me about to get run over at a crosswalk

by a NY taxi! Heehee :)

It was a delightful trip, full of adventure, relaxation, and new experiences. But as Dorothy says in the "The Wizard of Oz"....

There's no place like home.

I whole-heartedly agree. :)

P.S. The song "Lucky" that is first on my playlist (scroll down) was Matthew and I's theme for our trip. I think it is quite fitting, don't you?
