NYC with Landon - Happy 16th BD

 For Landon's 16th birthday we gifted him a trip to a destination of his choosing. We look forward to doing this with all of the boys in their 16th year!   Landon decided on NYC with two NBA games, a Broadway show, NYC sightseeing, and some of our favorite restaurants.  The weekend of February 24 - 28 worked best due to his sports schedules.  He will miss three days of school and track practices.
