Thanks for sharing! I just finished reading a great biography about Hannah More, so enjoyed seeing her manuscript. My kids will enjoy the photo of Balto, due to some recent reading. It's all a long way from where we are in Australia.
I haven't been to NYC since I was a youngster. I love that you shared things from children's stories, I had no idea about these things. What fun to see you altogether.
Wow! you packed those days full…but what memories you made for all.
We did SO much in 2 and a half days! There is more to see. Let's go again!
yay! what a treasure to be able to travel and see all of this, with besties at that! i'm so happy for you!

It looks like you had such a wonderful time!!! 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
