In this section of the website we would like to share with you some of our moments with our extended families. Below (in reverse chronological order) are some of our recent highlights.
On Brad's side of the family we were able to spend some time with his dad and Jean. We enjoyed their home cooked meals, games around the table, some nice walks, and of course, some exchanging of gifts. For pictures of this, click here.
After waiting out a blizzard, we made it to Wisconsin for Christmas with Tami's family. We spent time catching up, eating good food, opening gifts, and playing some games (including the annual Yahtzee game). For pictures of this, click here.
In August, Tami's sister's family came out to Colorado to spend time with us. While at our house, we did some biking, and the girls put on their 8th (and final) annual lip sync competition. We then headed to a house in Silverthorne. While up there, we took in a couple of hikes, went to Boom Days (where there was a burro race and pie-eating contest), did some paddle boarding, did some biking ourselves, did some shopping, and just generally enjoyed time together. When we returned home from the mountains we were able to enjoy some more time in the neighborhood. For pictures of this, click here.
For the 4th of July weekend, we visited Brad's sister (Brenda) and brother-in-law (Scott), and saw many sites in NJ and NYC. We did a lot of walking (about 40 miles), and ate at some great restaurants. With a little input from us, Scott planned a long weekend full of both touristy things, and local things. Here is a list of some of the things we saw/did: Great views of NYC from NJ, excellent restaurants and pizza, Statue of Liberty, 9/11 Memorial Museum, One World Observatory, the subway, a cruise around the south end of Manhattan, multiple parks (Herald Squary, Bryant Park, Central Park, Washington Park, Pier A Park), Macys, Radio City Music Hall, Rockefeller Center, Grand Central Station, outside of The Met, a Broadway show ("& Juliet"), Hudson Yards, the Vessel, the High Line, Chelsea Market, multiple neighborhoods (Upper East Side, Greenwich Village, the West Village), Little Island, parts of Hoboken, Weehawken, and West New York. Plus, we had a quick visit with one of Brad's friends in NYC, and had excellent downtime enjoying everything Brenda and Scott's place had to offer. For pictures of this, click here.
