New York & Philly

We found some cheap tickets to NYC from Portland so we hooked up with Jennifer (who we met in Kenya) and tried to surprise Paul for a visit. The surprise did not work out so well but Jennifer got us a killer room at the Hilton Times Square so all was well! Oh and did I mention that we took a side trip to Philly?
