New York

Alexis turned 12 last week, so to celebrate, Clint took her on a trip to New York. We decided that 12 is a big birthday so each child will get a special Daddy trip. Alexis chose New York because her favorite things are Drama and Shopping.


They took the city tour on the double decker tour bus.

Did lots of shopping

and sightseeing

Overall they had a great time, but Alexis was surprised to find the big city so stinky and dirty.
Happy Birthday Alexis! We love you!

that is great! she looks sooo happy.
we have that same tradition. ted takes each kid alone on 2 trips one when they are 12 and one right around graduation between 16-18 years old. we started it years ago when we couldn't afford to take the entire family somewhere neat like that...and it's been a great tradition in so many ways that we still carry on! our oldest chose ny city, too, for her trip when she was 16!
