Alex made sushi, which the kids actually love.

Alex and Scarlet went up to Windham for the 3-day MLK weekend, while Bryson and I stormed NYC through Free Tours by Foot. It's a pretty great program. You can tip whatever you'd like at the end.

Bryson and I did the Brooklyn Bridge/Dumbo Tour, Harlem Tour, Wall Street/Financial District Tour, Little Italy/Chinatown Eating Tour, Grand Central Tour. We also toured 9/11 on our own. It was freezing, but a fun, jam-packed weekend and a great way to learn about our city.

On the Little Italy Tour, we visited St Patrick's Old Cathedral which is next to Prince Street Pizza, which Bryson loved.

Also really cool graffiti art in Chinatown.
