New Jersey!

We made it to New Jersey! We are here for the next two months for work. Richard's company needed someone to come and work for Goldman Sachs during the tax busy season and we volunteered. It really is a once in a lifetime experience. I don't know when we would have another chance to have an all expense paid stay here in NJ/NY.

I was worried about how the kids would handle the 4 hour flight since this was their first time flying, but they did great! Kaley loved everything about it! The flight wasn't full so we ended up having 2 rows to ourselves which meant the kids had room to move around. There were little tv screens on the seats so that the kids could watch cartoons and they loved the snacks and drinks they gave us. I was grateful that everything went so smoothly.

We flew into JFK which is.....well....let's just say that most people try to avoid that airport. It was our only choice though because everything else was booked so there we were. We had 8 suitcases, 2 car seats, a double stroller and a couple of carry-on bags that we finally got into a van that was taking us to New Jersey (that was an adventure in itself). Getting from the airport to our apartment took two hours because it was rush hour (which is from 3-9pm we were told... long rush hour). Needless to say, we were very glad to finally get to our apartment.

We got lucky and got here just in time for the end of the worst snow storm that they have seen in about 60 years. :) The day after we got here it started snowing and it snowed for 31 hours straight. It didn't let up once during that time. I have never seen wind and snow like that, but I guess we can say we were a part of history. We are excited for all the things we will get to see and the experiences we will have.

This is the view from our living room window. Living in the city!

You can't really tell but the flakes that were falling were huge!

We decided to let the kids play in the snow by Richard's work. It is nice that he works so close. It's 6 minutes by Light Rail or about a 15 minute walk.

Waiting for the first ride on the Light Rail. They were both so excited to ride the "train."

Having fun in the snow!
This is the Goldman Sachs building. It has 42 floors!

Snow angel!

New York!!! Amazing!

This was the Korean War Memorial at the little park.
