Katie's Elevator Antics
Katie always likes to make faces at the security cameras in elevators. This look (above) is something I'm still not used to seeing, even though it's the first thing I see from her after the doors of the elevator close. Ha!

NYC
Katie and I got to do something very special as a daddy and daughter. I had a business trip to Manhattan and she got to come with me! I'm especially thankful to my employer, SQL Sentry, for enabling me to do this sort of thing.
Here's a picture of us taking the harbor cruise, where Katie got to see something she'd always wanted to see. Personally, I'm a big fan of the Jackie O' sunglasses.
Here's the new World Trade Tower, aka Liberty Tower, from the harbor. The whole skyline is just amazing and beautiful. The City itself was clean, energetic, and full of people bustling to and fro. Just like you'd expect for NYC.
We walked EVERYWHERE. Since our hotel was right in the middle of everything, so it was super easy to walk to any of our important destinations.
We saw most of the places that were the inspiration for various TV shows: Friends, Seinfield, 30 Rock. We toured the city on one of the hop-on hop-off buses, which I highly recommend to the tourist with tight timelines. We also visited a lot of the famous retail spots (Times Square, Chinatown), not to mention the theater district where we took in a show called "Once". Simply fabulous. I think NYC might be the only city on earth where you could find several dancing, singing, beautiful cello players. I mean really?!?
Central Park and the Museum District was lovely. And as you can tell from the photos, the weather was absolutely gorgeous! We started early each day and many days ended in near total exhaustion. Voila!

Halloween Hobos and Highnesses
No one would be surprised if your little daughters wanted to dress up as princesses for Halloween. Here are our two little "Her Royal Highnesses":
Honestly, I think Katie (above upper) and Ava (above lower) just wanted an excuse to put on tons of make-up and to do their hair. Savannah kindly photo-bombed Ava in all of her glamours glory. The older girls decided to go in the exact opposite direction of the glamour of pageant princess and settled on HOBOS.
Savannah (above top) is channeling more of the "unwashed hippy" vibe. Kaylee and Rebecca (above middle) are making their panhandler signs. Kaylee (above bottom) is bringin' the hobo-chic. All she needs now is a little unwashed funk to perfect her image. I doubt that she got a lot of takers on her "free hugs" offer.
Typical for Anna (above), she was barely getting started on her Hitalia costume with the little hair flip when everyone else was practically finished.
