Glenys In The Big Apple

I've posted a few shots from our trip to NYC. We had a lot of fun, and it was really cool to see New York for the first time with Fiona's mom. I've been there so often that I'm used to the overwhelming hugeness of the City, but seeing the look on Glenys' face at the top of the Empire State Building filled me with awe.

For me, New York City is something I've grown up with all my life. I was born two hours away, and I went to University about 20 miles outside Queens. But for Glenys it was literally a dream come true to see it with her own eyes. After a lifetime of watching movies (Sleepless In Seattle, specifically) it was almost incomprehensible for her to be there in person. At the top of the Empire State Building with tears streaming down her cheeks she kept repeating "I can't believe I'm here, I can't believe I'm here."
