The Vanguard was on blogging hiatus the past week or so while Katie and I visited the Big Apple and Washington D.C.
My best man, Robert Berger, who now lives in Long Island, showed us all around and took us into “the city”, where we attended Mass at Father Richard John Neuhaus‘ parish (he celebrated and gave an excellent homily), visited my brother-in-law and his wife, checked out Times Square, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and the Rockefeller plaza (we were surprised at how small the ice skating rink was).
Upon our arrival in Baltimore, we got to meet Tom and his lovely family from the Ecumenicity blog! We had a good chat and then made our way into D.C. Our friends there took us to see the White House and Lincoln Memorial, which was really cool.
The vacation was wonderful, due especially to our great hosts Robert and Laura y Jorge!
I hope you had a wonderful time! During our extensive traveling as an airline employee & spouse, two of our favorite cities to visit were NY and DC. Those and, of course, Rome!
