Such heartwarming hospitality.

New York was in every way magnificent, thanks to my Great Uncle and his wonderful family.

Many stories were told in this trip, and I've learned much more about my dad. My mom's uncle and my dad were best friends during the Vietnam War era, which led my dad into discovering my mom. So I have my Great Uncle to thank for my existence.
His stories were nostalgic enough that his eyes would become glossy every time he looks at me. He told me many things; from what guns my dad had used and the first encounters of my dad and mom (which were hilarious). The stories were detailed and my mom was embarrassed. I will remember these stories forever.

His family was beautiful inside and out. They took us in making sure we would have a good vacation. And a good vacation we had indeed. With two days in Washington D.C., leaving three days for New York, there wasn't much time. New York is a busy city, a city that been around since the dawn of America. I will surely go back, you can count on that.
