Seriously? Barbara and I looked at each other and practically burst out laughing! Good thing we decided to splurge (we thought about it for about a milli-second before jumping at the chance) because my luggage ended up being beyond the weight limit by 3 pounds and I would have had to pay over $100 to check my bag had we flown coach! What a delightful ending to our Brizo-in-New York getaway : )</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixmngecvuqGZro-P6-3Tcg-dSRhusqxcKJJI7GdFPoZxUwlLKlX4EmHDmhV7BH_bBe9vnTcviC7XSBnixBjAreupHis_XNY6BLUtrHEoUHMr8RlcC_dDwRQpI5mogZ6rGwe2kAah1lXoa-/s1600/barbara@airport.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixmngecvuqGZro-P6-3Tcg-dSRhusqxcKJJI7GdFPoZxUwlLKlX4EmHDmhV7BH_bBe9vnTcviC7XSBnixBjAreupHis_XNY6BLUtrHEoUHMr8RlcC_dDwRQpI5mogZ6rGwe2kAah1lXoa-/s800/barbara@airport.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>It was so much more fun flying home with a friend!</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj37_LOx2VBDllaNS2TKvzSk0DUPI1QZbF6wH1MX3oM2DdFGi0z3QZgAqeNSKD6VMoFA6SN5bUmpyffgUXIT7ubZor5E2w2ZVzHS8H0jvhj1AUKJpL0M1-8cP9oVcK9n7_C4SCSgBTqJxL/s1600/airplane+ride.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj37_LOx2VBDllaNS2TKvzSk0DUPI1QZbF6wH1MX3oM2DdFGi0z3QZgAqeNSKD6VMoFA6SN5bUmpyffgUXIT7ubZor5E2w2ZVzHS8H0jvhj1AUKJpL0M1-8cP9oVcK9n7_C4SCSgBTqJxL/s800/airplane+ride.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>The view from my window seat to show my boys.</i></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlyVySe0lk8T684xw8_-flfOfDJ3jQgXl491Dg1zlvGd0XXHATn05ofsbMYajfcDWLdf2yc3YIV3GpgDkjOwk0EfwpqvHzlCt65l039ZS9NN-odmLnF944P8x41imHqkp95eI4kHTuBJL3/s1600/boston+landing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlyVySe0lk8T684xw8_-flfOfDJ3jQgXl491Dg1zlvGd0XXHATn05ofsbMYajfcDWLdf2yc3YIV3GpgDkjOwk0EfwpqvHzlCt65l039ZS9NN-odmLnF944P8x41imHqkp95eI4kHTuBJL3/s800/boston+landing.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Landing in Boston right on schedule ...</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLzaiRNwYykhX4IvQjOJ-j4diONEUAngIgbHgIx-O98s-QV1yDsOWwabXDps52-KenCI3mN-iSKCeGSyYAVnlZ0JqrCYK0APy1HEXd2AjQmn-0pwD3do31hCveVEjK7Jpy5qvISmSNnFmk/s1600/pile+of+snow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLzaiRNwYykhX4IvQjOJ-j4diONEUAngIgbHgIx-O98s-QV1yDsOWwabXDps52-KenCI3mN-iSKCeGSyYAVnlZ0JqrCYK0APy1HEXd2AjQmn-0pwD3do31hCveVEjK7Jpy5qvISmSNnFmk/s800/pile+of+snow.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>What I missed while I was gone!</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">While this marks the end of our trip, it’s just the beginning of our new friendships as Brizo #Blogger19 Alum!
