Mexico ☀️

This dream vacation was a long time in the making. We had a trip to Mexico booked in 2020 and of course had to cancel due to the pandemic. Later that year Nevaeh suffered her stroke. She recovered miraculously so we rescheduled our trip for 2023. However, early that year we got dealt another blow with Nevaeh needing 2 brain surgeries and cancelled our trip once again. In true Nevaeh form she recovered amazingly and her doctors cleared her to go on spring break this year.

Here is everything we did and where we stayed!

New York City
 

Magical New York City during Christmas
Is there anything more Merry than visiting New York City during the Holidays? The city transforms into a winter wonderland, with its busy streets adorned with twinkling lights, towering Christmas trees, and decadent window displays that ignite the imagination of both young and old. The air is filled with the intoxicating aroma of roasted chestnuts, hot cocoa, and the sound of familiar carols echoing through the streets. Central Park becomes a haven of enchantment as snow blankets the landscape, inviting laughter-filled sleigh rides and impromptu snowball fights. From the iconic Rockefeller Center Christmas tree to the festive ice-skating rinks under the glittering skyscrapers, the city teems with the spirit of the season. The magic of New York City during Christmas is simply irresistible, captivating the hearts of all who visit.
