New York

Here are some highlights of our trip to New York for the marathon.

Dave up early getting ready for the race.

I was able to see him at the 25 mile mark. 

Celebrating his run with a frozen hot chocolate from Serendipity's.

 Rockefeller Center

St.Patricks Cathedral

And of course, Rupert, from the Hello Deli

Not pictured was the Dave Letterman show, shopping the flea markets, Times square, all the great food, and Central Park.

We loved it there and will definitely be going back.

Oh, and Dave finished the race in 2 hours 50 mins, placing 382 out of 44,969.  Way to go!
