1637 miles

That's the distance we covered for Spring Break this year.  We "road tripped" it to Greenwich, CT to see and stay with Graham and Bart.  Albeit a long drive (2 days and 13 hours in the car each way), we survived and the boys traveled well.

In looking back over the week, I think the following will be most remembered...lacrosse, PS3 soccer, day-tripping it to NYC, and of course..."Scott Sterling!" (complete with Thompson's British accent).

Bart got the boys lacrosse sticks, and enjoyed teaching them some of the fundamentals of the sport.  If we weren't "out and about" and the boys (yes, Bobby and Bart included) weren't inside battling it out on the PS3, T and W were outside with their lax sticks.

Saturday's highlight was Chelsea Piers in Samford where the boys enjoyed trampolines and the climbing wall.

Sunday we went to Stepping Stone Children's Museum, where the boys made their very own recycled creation, and then onto Todd's Point.  There was also a side trip to the mall to pick up a PS3 soccer game.

Monday, we took the local train into Grand Central Station and from there let the boys dictate our itinerary.  First stop: Times Square.  We visited Toys R Us, Disney Store and the m&m store.  The boys opted for personalized m&m's.  Next stop: Graham's office and lunch.  Third stop: the park across from FAO Schwarz and the Apple Store to rest our legs and enjoy some of that fine chocolate!  Lastly: the subway to return to GCS to catch the 4:33 train back out to Greenwich.

Graham was able to take Tuesday off, so we headed to local park in Greenwich where the boys played a bit of lacrosse, then toured the city and had lunch on Greenwcih Avenue.  Afterwards, we went to the Bruce Museum and during a "fish feeding" were able to learn a bit about how certain salt water animals live.

On Wednesday, we said farewell and began our trek south...

The home stretch! (literally)
