My "Best Yes" - Our trip to New York City

Remember how I discussed needing to trust in God's order, in taking some time away from our children and spending time with my husband?  Well, I am on our vacation, and after a lot of prayers and a few tears, let me tell you, I am having a wonderful time!  First of all, I was able to read and entire book, cover to cover on the plane ride!  I hadn't even considered that as one of the perks of not managing and entertaining three little ones!  I read "The Best Yes: Making Wise Decisions in the Midst of Endless Demands", by Lysa TerKeurst and it was wonderful!  This trip, is definitely a "Best Yes" for me, in realizing my priorities and making time for what is most important!

We made it to New York City and one of our first stops, recommended to us by a friend was a visit to The Cloisters. 

The Cloisters is a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art displaying religious art and architecture from the twelfth through fifteenth century.  I think we could have stayed there all day because everything was so beautiful and the history was so interesting!

Beyond the beautiful art, we were able to enjoy the most wonderful fall day in New York!  The air was crisp, the leaves were changing colors and we just slowed down to enjoy each other during a nice fall walk!

 

Well, I'm going back to my "Best Yes", aka my husband, but I just wanted to share with you some of the beauty we have experienced!  Stay tuned, there is more to come!
