our liberty lady...

My whole life and i'm *just* now seeing our lady liberty live and in
person... It's smaller than I had imagined, perhaps her ego has been
bruised in the last couple of years... but she is still majestic and
proud... just like I expected her to be...

I hope she continues to stand tall and proud for a couple more hundred
years at least...

New York in November...

a beautiful couple of days in NYC this week... city was crisp with colors and the hint of holiday season sneaking up on it.

A day at the Santa Barbara mission...

We went to the mission, one of our favorite places. Besides the rose garden and the grassy knoll, we took the tour this time... So the kids could really 'see' the mission. There were some left over chalk drawings that were also stunning!
