Evan's 16th Birthday Weekend

For Evan's 16th birthday, he wanted to go see the musical "Wicked" on Broadway. It coincided with Parent's Weekend at the Coast Guard Academy in CT so Margaret and Evan flew to NYC, on a redeye, and arrived in NYC at 6 a.m. on Thursday, Evan's birthday. They went to Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, FAO Schwartz, Central Park, Time Square, Fifth Avenue, and ended the day with seeing the musical "Wicked" (highly recommend seeing it). We took the train to Stamford CT that night, where Dan and Erin picked us up and we drove to New London. Friday we went to Jeannie's classes with her at the Coast Guard Academy and on Saturday watched her play a great game of volleyball when the Academy went up against Williams College (they won in the best of 5 match). We also toured the subase at Groton where Grampie spent a year back in 1944 training to be a submariner. It was a great weekend to be with all of the family.

Looks like you all had a great trip. Wish that I could have been there with everyone. Evan, you'll have to let us all know how good Wicked was over this next weekend.
