First Stop: New York

We were a bit breathless as we left family and friends early June 14, having spent the last several weeks funnelling our Grand Junction lives of sixteen years into four suitcases we hope sufficient to carry us on at least the first part of our travels.  Landing in the familiar landscape of Long Island and New York City, we have all transitioned pretty well thus far.  On Aidan's suggestion we have already visited the Big Apple, where we strolled through Central Park and viewed Cleopatra's Obelisk behind the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  Aidan and Charlie have both been keen to see the obelisk having learned about it this past winter while driving back and forth to Powderhorn Ski area.  We finished the day with a tour of the Egypt exhibition inside the museum - even Charlie found something to keep his attention. 

This is the first of many stories about our travels.  Shortly, we will include pictures as we figure out how to make all of this happen.  We look forward to comments, questions, and your own stories.

Hey Guys!

So love the blog and your adventures so far. I don't know anything about Cleopatra's Obelisk and I don't think Tanner or Jack do.... maybe Aidan can type a few lines with a few tid bits for us... either way we'll look it up ourself too! We can't wait to learn with you as you travel and share about all the things you do an see! This is really exciting.

Miss you tons! Dusty, Darcie, Tanner and Jack
