The Last Leg: Friends, Family, and Memory Lane
With 12 months of travel behind us, and one more to go, it was time to visit more familiar places in Savannah, Washington DC, New Jersey, New York, and Boston. From old friends to new ones, close family to distant relatives, everyone made the trip truly memorable, and reminded us that sometimes you make the greatest discoveries in your own backyard.
I was able to see my old elementary school just months before it's scheduled to be torn down, and was even invited in to tour the house where I grew up until I was 13 years old. I realized that everything seems much smaller when you're 31: the "long walk to school" was actually just minutes -- I guess my legs were a lot shorther then.
We re-fell in love with NYC, but as usual I'll let the pictures do the talking...
