Every November (probably a lot to do with both Janie and I just finishing our first school based reporting periods) we start visiting sites and looking for attractions for Christmas Break. It’s generally a two week span that we can use to carve some time away with the family. Most often it resembles a road trip to the US for a few nights to explore a city, do some shopping, catch a pro-game and a museum or two.

Our sinking dollar has to be considered, but so does the chance to get away and be distracted! And what says distraction like a quick trip to the lights and glitter of “New York”! We are peeking at events and researching accommodations… Hopefully Mother Nature cooperates and we can assemble the puzzle for a few days away prior to Christmas. Never a shortage of things to do in “le grand pomme” but we may want to go to Pinterest to explore the many “10 things to do for Free in NYC”. We’ll post the trip if we manage to pull it off! Cheers…
