I'm struggling to know how to write all about my crazy busy week in New York in a blog post that won't turn into a series of novels. So to make it easier for everyone I'm just going to write a quick list of what we did and then tell you a few fun facts about our adventures in the big apple. So the week didn't have the best start as our bus from Montreal got cancelled! As well as about 10 other New York bound buses. It was an absolute nightmare as we arrived at t...

(As instructed by Momma P!) Ok..so going back about 3 weeks was Homecoming Weekend. This weekend really did live up to expectations and everything we had been told about it.
