Reason #s 2 and 3

Reason number two I suggested New York City as a worthy destination, is Mother has never actually been to the island of Manhattan.  I just don't think you can even imagine it until you've been there.  (Insert another suggestion.  Ava, I would like to hear your memories of the time you did visit New York, J.F.K. airport, with Mother.)

Reason number three is found in Kristin's previous post.  The trip I made fourteen years ago was one of the best trips I've ever been on.  It was jam-packed with memories.  I noticed I'm pictured in Kristin's post wearing a hideous red coat so I thought I would post another colorful picture from a separate vacation.  Everyone's been asking me what I'm wearing...NOTHING RED!!
